Hi There!

Well, I've finally managed to get around joining this board and thought I'd post a bit about the ride and my Monster*.  (*The bike, that is. [laugh])

2012 Monster EVO purchased Dec, 2012.  Current mileage:  13,750.  Trackdays:  4.  SS1k's:  1.  Outerspace?  Maybe...

it's been a few places and I'm looking forward to putting some real miles on her.  She's definitely a willing scoot.

And yet, in spite of my efforts I still average 110 miles to the fuel light and I've seen a high of 168 miles (.25 gal left!) in the tank on fill up.   [Dolph]

Now if someone can point me to a proper vid on how to do the damn valves I'd be much appreciative!   [bang] [bang] [bang]
