I'm getting better mileage than you. Mine just went about 100 miles and didn't use a drop. Of course that was on the back of a roll back. It was a blast riding with the 4 of us all cramped in the cap of the truck.

It IS only you. I shouldn't betray a confidence, but your bike told my bike that you two just don't see eye-to-eye anymore, that the passion is gone and that you two should never have gotten together in the first place. Sorry, but I thought you deserved to know the truth.

14,000 + miles and the only problem I have had is with the accessory heated grips and navigation system, both replaced under warranty.

Mine has been flawless with the exception of a cc switch and the rear piston replaced due to a compression ring not seating correctly.
