Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
Good Luck!!

First, thank you for your response, good ideas! My Bike has a fuel gauge but being "old school" I too
go by the odometer. 200 miles on a tank....if I keep off the throttle and run no more than 70 I can get a touch over 100!!! I'm jealous!!
I would like to thank you for your service, your signature quote on the dictionary brought back a few fond memories. I was in the Marines from 73-03.
Thanks again,
Mark
