    Ok today was my test to see if I was a good rider. Today I drove about 108 miles with my girlfriend on the back. She waighs about 200-220 me 160, and my other love 420 the bike it self. So total waight was 800 pounds im only 5'5 holy cow. Well any way I did good! Sometimes I had to flor the bike to go up a hill in 6th gear. But I was knoticing that every time I throttle up the fule gage would go down to E, and when I let up on the gas it would go back to full. Hmmmm that's kinda funny. What would cause that to happen? Ohh and another thing. My bike was bottoming out when she was on the back. Is there bigger or better shocks than the stock ones?

    or she just needs to loose weight HaHaHa its heather for her anyway

    You can set the pre-load on your shocks for a variety of different riding conditions and weight settings.

    I don't know what shocks you have but there's usually a tool for doing the shocks in the tool kit.

    The windings on the rheostat the fuel level sending float is attached to are probably getting on in their years.

    That, ... or the level in the tank was sloshing around and letting the float bob up and down!
