While my 300E is off the road with a broken windscreen wiper mechanism, I'm using my bike everyday. I have noticed that the temp and fuel gauge seem to thrash around much less now than they did before. The fuel gauge also seems to be more precise and the temp is shown slightly lower than it had been.
Could this be due to regular usage or am I just imagining things
The bike is also running so smoothly that despite having a 145 KM round trip to work, I took the long way home yesterday and put on another 30 odd Ks. These bikes are really a joy to ride, only marred the mild vibration around 3,500 rpm. On the motorway I cruise at 4,500 - 5,500 rpm giving me 70-80 mph. I gave up at 90 mph one day, I don't need a fast bike and don't want to force the old lady either.
In Brazil, many people are surprised by the age of the bike and the level of technology. Even now the original K-bikes are still quite modern.
