I had been averaging 125 or so with plenty left. got a big surprise the day I ran out of gas going up a hill of course, with only mid-90's on the trip meter. Now I fill up at 90 instead. Sigh... Susan '85 450SC On Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 1:28 PM, yankfroggy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well you'

The late 750's had lost not only the 6th gear and shaft drive but the hydraulic clutch and gas gauge as well. The 700/750S models had 16" wheels which are now considered an "old" idea but the high rotational speed made for great stability on the highway. IMHO; the 650 was quicker and did have th

Like you I think I would rather have the acceleration and it's not worth changing the sprocket since I'm not on the freeway that much. I just learned the 1980s "S" models had a 6th gear. I didn't know that and it makes me want one. Dennis On Oct 18, 7:12 pm, jgalban <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >

Well you're right about the top end not being so old school, but I was referring to the in-line 4 cylinder and naked style of the bike. I mean this was 2003 and still no gas guage (though I don't miss it because when she hits 125 miles I know it's time to fuel up). Yes v- twins are really old-scho

Thanks, all! Got 3 qts. That was probably the least messy oil change I've ever done! I didn't realize there were two drain plugs at first, and opened the frame plug initially. I was thinking, I can't believe I have to sit here while 3 qts drains out of this!!! When I looked in the manual
