    I never thought of using the trip gauge as a fuel indicator. Maybe thats what they are for XD. Thanks mate.

    Hey, is it comfortable to ride, even after a while? planning to get this bike, wanna do a couple of tours so comfort is pretty important for me.

    • @davidkavanagh4966
      @davidkavanagh4966  4 роки тому

      Very comfortable to ride as long as you keep it under 90kph as it gets very uncomfortable with the high revving engine makes lots of vibrations. Feels like you are damaging the engine being as such high revs

      Yes it's better than most as the seat is long enough for two, there is a grab handle and it's very low and lightweight

      If maintenance has been kept up properly carburetor needs tuning. If anything do a compression check first.
