Hey: Thanks for the info: Yes I start it with choke and it needs a couple of miles to warm up. It lives in the garage. I did get some help from one of the guys in the yahoo 750 group page. He told me how to adjust mixture and idle speed to overcome the problem. SFO -LAX: My bike will go about 200 miles before I go onto reserve. I figure I am getting about 50-53 miles per gallon. I would say at 4 hours, you might be at the end of your range. Typically what I do is set the odometer everytime I fill up. When it starts to show around 190 miles or so I start looking for a gas station: HavenĀ“t ever run out of gas yet!
