Cheapest fix ever. (super long post, sorry.)

So all the maintenance (filter, sync, valves) where done and good and I was still getting 35 mpg (American) average. Side note, Don't trust my local dealer anymore, all the maintenance was supposed to be done at 12k I bought it at 14k. Have the receipt from the former owner. The sync was WAY off, th...

Alright, air filter cleaning helped quite a bit. Horrible engineering on the how to get to it. What a pain in the rump. Now I get about 38 mpg so that sounds more like what I would expect considering the miles on it. Another thing I have started doing is leaving it on its center stand ALL the time. ...

thank ya thank ya. Yup, its a Corbin. Actually, maybe the issue with the MPG is weight. That seat is a damned boat anchor. I like the color, matches her eyes... errr turn signals.

Great point, Meister. I have been paying attention to people's claimed locations because I knew there was some difference between imperial and US gallons. But I actually wasn't sure about how much. (Guess I should have googled it, I mean the computer is right in front of me.) I like the can change i...

Hmm, the 55 mile commute is on roads with posted speed of 55 mph (I end up at around 65 most of the way.) I fill it up to the brass on fill up. Use the bottom of the brass as my gauge so I fill it to the same level every time. That's not "over filled" is it? Did the valve adjust. There is ...

I suppose I should stop lurking.

Hey guys, let me start with a big thank you. So many of you have helped me out already while I lurked this forum over the past month since I bought my bike. I'll start out by saying, since I started riding in '02 the R1100S was my first choice, but finding one for less then $10k American was a bit d...
