5 Useful Tips

[Phill_York]

Having just learnt another useful tip by reading the forum, I thought I would add the 5 top things I wish someone had told me when I bought my GTR in case someone else finds it useful:

1. The tyres make a huge difference; changing from Bridgestone to Michelin Road Pilots was like changing the bike
2. The fuel tank isn't full when it looks full. Keep dribbling fuel in slowly and it just keeps going in without getting any fuller; adds a couple of litres and 20-30 miles to the range
3. Pressing the top and bottom buttons together on the dash cancels an alert; with low fuel or tyre pressure sensor batteries it doesn't have to be the only thing you see for miles
4. Pressing the windscreen button as you switch off the bike leaves it up for cleaning; you don't have to wash it with the ignition on
5. The tyre pressure batteries can be changed with a little soldering

I hope they are useful to someone and I look forward to finding more tips out from the more experienced users :-)

I think it was a fatal error, but nothing that a 24 hour stay in the cooler won't fix!
