    Hello, just got my new 2015 501S. Brought it home and has been raining since. Looking forward to riding in the AM tomorrow.
    I find the idle rpm quite high, although it just has about 5-10 min of seat time total. :)

    Looks like a sweet bike, out of interest, would like to know what sort of mileage you get out of a tank on it in stock form and how do you like the OE exhaust?

    Thanks.
    Too late, even before the 1st tank full of gas was spent, I decided to pull all the smog stuff. The bike was running a tad hot and had poor throttle response. Dont know how much this will affect the mileage, but will report back.
    Wont be able to ride again till tuesday evening due to work. :(

    Ok, if pulling the smog gear help temps and throttle response it probably should help fuel economy too... power mods rarely seem to help economy in the real world though, seems to be the more power you have the more you use.
    Damn work, gets in the way of life far too much
