Re: first trip

Dan,
I have the same problem with mine, I thought it was just me. However, now that I
almost have 1000miles on the bike, it seems to be better. Maybe I have just learned
HOW to do it properly...lol :)
My gas gauge is acting up and even the light comes on...it happened right after I
filled it up. Oh well...
Just keep riding...Man, they are great bikes...I came from a CBR1000  that I put
40,000miles on. The ST is so light and the power is right there baby.
ST Lover,
Charla-TX
