Lep. when you switch the ignition on does the fuel light come on then go off after a few seconds. my fuel gauge needle goes passed the E before the light come on. carry a gallon of fuel just in case you run out.

Well that was a long wait for paperwork 6 weeks after I sent the paperwork off I got a letter saying I had to fill in another form in, filled that in with all the info I had put in my cover letter but 3 weeks after that it's all done and legal. It has thankfully kept it's original reg number.
I had a run over to the coast to Whitby did 170 miles on one tank so not to bad I think it works out at 34mpg ish. We also had a run down to the National Memorial Arboretum 320Ile round trip.
It keeps 65 mph up no problem at just under 3000 rpm so we'll happy with it it's straight as a die I just need to sort the rear suspension out it's a bit firm.
All in all I'm happy with it, we are off the France for a weekend soon just need to get the miles in to learn how to ride it properly.
