When I fill up the r Lo or r whatever miles that were on there before I filled up stays the same till I start riding. It quickly changes to the correct mileage remaining. I think it has something to do with the fact that the computer can't calculate a new remaining mileage until it gets an odometer/speedometer input.

Take it for a spin and the remaining mileage should read correctly.

I know nothing at all about pushrod adjustment, sorry.

Did you disconnect your battery or pull your maxi-fuse?Mine does that,should register correctly if you reset your tripometer.

Yea my battery was unhooked for 4 weeks while my engine was down,That makes sense that it needs to be rode to recalibrate.

Yep, needs to recal, crank and let it run a few minutes and it should register the full tank.

Depending on which brand of push rods you used, the turns required can differ...
