And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding.
Good Luck!!
thank you for the advice!

I have a owners manual and I will get a parts manual soon. I have a book to record all of my maintenance and upgrades to. I reset my odometer on fillups.. I only get about 75-80 miles till the light comes on. I may have to invest in a larger fuel tank.
