Re: new tyres :)

I will test lower pressures, I feel comfortable with the " manual specified " ones, but actually I haven´t tested

Re: Dashboard update

For early models, ( like my 97 model) the best fuel gauge is to reset the odometer to 0 when you fill the tank.
After this, in my case I have 160 km until the light turn on. Depending on your driving, etc this number may vary, but not too much.

They are low KV ( revs per volt) generators , to assure that at idle they are producing enough voltage to keep the output DC voltage to 1...

Yes, the FH020 that I own is a original shindengen unit, and no problem about the wiring.

Thanks for the reply
