Passed 20,000 on the Strat yesterday...

[Larry Gude]

...from June, 2010.



Eats tires almost as bad as gas but, one damn good bike. Maintained by the book, zero break downs, no runs, no drips, no errors.

Just needs cruise, a bigger tank and toons. Maybe if I look around enough, there is a CD player hidden I just never noticed?

Getting ready for the 24k service here.. On my third set of tires, XM works great, cruise control isn't used as much as I thought it would (just don't make it to the slab very often), and other than my seat slipping out of the high buckets, zero issues.

There's always a segment to or from where just a few minutes of cruise would be nice. Went all the way to Greensboro without it, 11 hours, 500 miles. Of course, that trip was lean pretty much every last mile!

why is your bike eating tires ?

Just needs cruise, a bigger tank :

How big is the tank? That's my only beef with my dresser; ~150 miles between gas stops and 3.4 gallons to fill it every time.

7 gallon tank and love it...

around town 40-45 mpg, highway close to 60..

Big bike, big motor, geared rather torque-y, ride pretty hard, soft suspension, lot of two up.

4.5. Average around 35-37 mpg. Pretty much what you describe, 150 miles and I'm getting gas station conscious.

Took it to 170 miles one time and put 4.3 gallons in it.

Do you at least have a fuel gauge?

Do you at least have a fuel gauge?

Yup. When it points to the right, I look for gas stations on the right. When it points straight ahead, I look for gas ahead. When it points to the left I look that aways.

Real hard.

I'll be rolling over 5K this weekend on a Skyline Drive trip with a buddy. Bought mine in the spring and love every minute I spend on it. Hate when I have to drive the truck for almost any reason.

The last couple weeks have been beautiful, and I've had a miserable cold, didn't even have the strength to hold the bike upright.

Hope to be right as rain soon, hope the weather holds out for a couple more weeks!

I've turned 37,000 miles on mine this Summer. I'm on my 3rd rear tire but I still have the original tire on the front and it still has tread on it... :shrug:
