    poor mpg with new bike ???

    I went in for my 600 mile service this past weekend. My MPG's leading up to that have been 38-39 mpg (excluding what seemed to be a half tank when it was delivered). Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Newb question!!! :-)

    If the bike ends up in some rain while your cruising around...is there any parts of the bike that need to be dried as soon as you can dry them? I thought I heard something about the rubber around the gauge panels but I could be wrong. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    OK cool, thanks! I also wanted to ask a question. If I'm cruising down a long stretch of road, what would be the ideal rpms to have the engine at? 6-8 like you just said? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    I want to be nice to my baby and properly give her the recommended break in. The only time I hit the 7k mark is on the highway when I need the extra juice to go around someone. ;-) Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    E=nismos14;433378]I doubt that it was full from the dealer and you really have to assume it was not because there's no way to know. Since you only put $10 in now you can't get an accurate measure. What you'll want to do is do and full fill up, reset the trip meters,then run it till it's ready to...

    I can't say the tank was full. It was the gas that came with delivery. When I filled it yesterday I thought I would have to pay a few bucks more to fill the tank so I'm not exactly sure that the gas I put in yesterday is made it a full tank. I forgot to reset the trip meter after filling up...

    poor mpg with new bike ???

    My fuel gauge start flashing so it was going into "reserve" so I drove a couple of miles to the gas station and put in $10. The credit card reader at the pump wasn't working so I just paid for $10 at the counter. I may have been able to put more in but I don't know because that was the first I...

    $10 went in @ 3.67/gal. I may have been screwed by dealer or my guage isn't working properly. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    I just filled my tank for the first time today. My first tank (from the dealer) got me a total of 65 miles. That's just driving around town, no extended rides. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Hello all! I'm Kyle and I live in Cromwell, CT. Im 34 and I thought it was time I buy my first bike. I took the MSF class and received my endorsement last fall. I purchased a gorgeous 2013 FZ6R a couple of weeks ago. I went out and rode around town for an hour last week. I'm hoping to go out...
