I just read on page 5-55 of the FSM: "NOTE: After installing the fuel tank, make sure the fuel tank breather hose is not kinked or bound." I knew it wasn't correct when I first put it together, but I just didn't spend enough time trying to figure it out at the time. Doc, I am jealous of you - all the great rides ahead of you!BE SAFE!
Its is wonderful to be retired, Dave!
My ride to Mesquite, St., George, Cedar City, Cedar Breaks (10,200 feet elevation) Duck Creek, Mt. Carmel Junction, Zion National Park got expanded a bit: 492 miles on 9.4 gallons = 52.3 MPG.
However from Cedar City to Cedar Breaks, Duck Creek and then Zion to Hurricane, I did 118 miles on 1.88 gallons = 62.76 MPG. Friend on 883 Sportster took the exact same amount of fuel. Our 1140 cc 4 cylinder is a very fuel efficient machine.
Great ride, other than strong headwinds on the return. Left Interstate 15 and went through Logandale and Overton then along Lake Mead home.
I miss-stated my odometer read before the trip. Now have 8,667 miles on the clock. Doing oil change tonight or tomorrow morning.
