I believe there are six lights in the cluster; neutral indicator, high beam indicator, turn signal indicator, oil pressure light, low fuel and really low fuel.
The yellow light on top is the kickstand indicator. |

Went for the Mitas E-07 in the end! Re-fitted the MIG carbon can, and changed the plugs today. I think after seeing how kippered the old plugs were might explain my rather poor MPG!!

Hello,
since yesterday I'm finally a AfricaTwin owner! I bought a RD04 SW Mo-tech rallye conversion with a WP Extreme fork and Tecnoflex shock.:

Sometimes I'm laughing about guys in Germany with 45 liter fuel tanks riding 1000 km per year ![]() If I should need more fuel I can still put a stock RD04 fuel tank on it. I already have a black one for my Transalp waiting in my garage.

One box or one bottle??? Interesting choice ...
I bought my SR 41 Suzuki DR 750 Big with it's 29 liters-tank to get from Linz-on-the-Rhine to my friends at Stuttgart without the need of re-fueling - usually on late friday-nights with all the Odenwald-gas-stations shut down ... Problem is, that - up to this moment - I mostly carry around some 15 liters of gas in my (right-hand) tank as the connection between the two halves doesn't work properly ... ... but sometimes it does, that's the mystery!But still kind regards, Bambi PS: nice bike you've got!!! How about a shot of the front-view?
