Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, 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, and upwards of 230+ on trips.

Ah. Well, this forum software is a little clunkier than I'm used to. A comma shouldn't matter.

I use Fuelly for tracking fuel mileage. My BMW has a 8 gallon tank so it will take some getting used to a bike with much less range. 200 miles is good to know. I always use the tripmeter to monitor that on bikes with either no gage (low fuel light only) or bikes with zero indicators (like my old 90 GS500).
