My new friend

Pick her up last Friday night. Did a little riding Saturday and no regret whatsoever. Gastank sucks big time, but that's nothing new to you guys.

On average, what's your gas on a full take? How many miles? Looks sweet though.

Congrats, have fun!

So you got a Fizzy too? I have one, but I am thinking of parting with her since I don't get many long haul trips in anyway.

Out!

Give it some time. Your engine is new and is tight. After break-in your mileage should improve. My reserve light comes on consistently at around 81 miles. That's with a DP ECU from the cam kit, open intake and LV exhaust.
