The battery blew up in my face (no sh*t). People actually do that kind of thing. I didn't know any better at the time.
It works well but you can't do it very often.
I wonder if the gage is self-calibrating. I was told my new little Chevy Sonic's six-speed automatic tranny would actually pay attention to how I drive and "learn" my driving style to optimize shift points. Since it's electronic and the bike has a main computer (remember the "check engine" light) like a car, that capability could well be there. I am pretty sure that the gage is now reading much more accurately after the second fillup.
