The 'r' odometer seems to calculate while I ride. It might start out at 190 ot so on a full tank. If I ride 10 or 15 miles, mostly in sixth it will jump to 210. I think all in all it's pretty accurate though. You really don't need to use it until you're down some in the tank and the computer has had time to see what kind of riding your doing at that time.

Poor example here. My carbureted (slightly over-jetted) 00 riding combined city, some back roads and some freeway went 146 mi on 4.2 gals which = 34.8 mpg

I can do about 200 on a tank, but fill up around the 150 to 175 region all depends on where I am going and if I need a coffee or **** break
