While you're 'testing', might consider carring a spare fuel canister.
I have one on the 'swingarm bag'. As cvaria says, dont wanna be
pushing it to the fuel pump....





good luck,

T.

oh no. Got one last year. 20oz msr bottle. Got a second one in March, but it's not that much bigger. Guess I thought a wine bottle size (750ml) would be a lot more than 20oz but it's only 5 more oz. Doh.
Anyway, made it 197 miles before she started sputtering and I had to stop. If ever do a nice long drive non stop I'll have to try again.
So close
4.3 gal before sputtering.

Unhappy

needed a quick win since the circlips were supposed to be here and aren't.

went out and added the contured rotor i got long ago but, didn't add.
bfo




fresh screws always...


afta



Played with XR swing arm and found i need to better calculate spacing


AND the xr must have a smaller rear brake rotor, the rear caliper mount dosen't fit over the rotor. or maybe the rotor shrunk with the XR1200X, i need to look into that. glad i tried it out while i had the wheel off.
