Haha, it would still be 5 years old if it was made in 2005.
2005-2006 = 1 year
2006-2007
2007-2008
2008-2009
2009-2010 = 5 years. It was made sometime in 2005, as it is now sometime in 2010.
Thanks for the tips on filling the gas tank though. I read in the manual to fill up to the neck level, but it was hard to see down the tank when I filled it, so I just stuck the spout in, and added until it stopped. How do you guys look into the can to check fillup level? I figured the spout was long enough that I wouldn't overfill, but maybe I am underfilling the tank now.
I drove it about 50 miles, and added 2 gallons from the last time I filled up. But may I really just didn't fill up the tank correctly. You guys are making me feel like I simply calculated the mileage wrong, or didn't fill up correctly!
There
was an oil change earlier this year, and I'll guess there was maybe a thousand miles put on it after?
@Oldfeller: I'll try to turn off the choke sooner. Still getting used to this bike, and it just seemed to run stronger with the choke on
. It does run with the choke off, in the cold mornings, but there is less power output than warmed up.
