My odo reads to 999.9 which is plenty for my needs.
The BBQ rack is the only one I've found of substantial size and it handles a large MotoFizz style bag very well.
To achieve your goal of 45mpg you can't run at high speeds. I've gotten as low as the high 20s at 90mph for extended miles, around 50 at 65-70mph and around town riding, low 40s at 75mph or so. Pushing wind sucks the fuel fast.
I'm using a tall Parabellum wind screen which is great for highway travel., but dangerous for dirt work. Using wingnuts and thumb screws, I can remove it within a couple of minutes and store it under a net on the rear. I prefer the nekkid bike and will leave it that way when not traveling high speeds for long miles.
I'll probably only clean the petcock if it becomes blocked. Blowing air thru the fuel hose, back thru the tank, might clear ir...dunno.
What Andy typed about the high altitudes and jetting was good. That's another reason I wanted to retain the stock setup. At 14,000 ft, I'm not sure if I'd have the energy to even change a plug.
The warranty is pretty cheap, imo. Something like $540 for 4 or 5 years extended. Just over $100 per year, you pick the numder of years. It's offered thru the dealers.
