Thanks. Well I can't see the gas level in my XR650R by looking in the cap but I can see it very well with the IMS on the 200. I can't see it through the side though, but it's easy to pop the top.
I was thinking "god I have to get that gas out it looks dirty" but...oh yeah....two stroke....oil in the gas......this is going to take some getting used to. Wing ding ding.
BTW, anybody make a seat for the KDX? My cover is the ugliest faded purple with looks like sugar melted in all over it, and a couple holes. works but need a complete new seat.

Seat? Or seat cover?
Gutsracing is noted for their foam..usually available in a variety..soft/medium/firm.
Covers? At least a couple: Ceet..Factory FX.
Ceet has a 'tall foam' that can be modified to suit. That happens to be what I'm currently using. I used to think the soft OEM foam was THE comfort choice..that was wrong. I'm much more comfortable on a stiffer foam.
I don't know of anyone but Kaw if you need the seat pan.
Re: 60 miles on a tank.
That's to empty? To reserve? Either way..that seems to be on the low side, although I don't know what your riding environs consist of. Last summer I rode over 100 miles and didn't hit reserve. Granted..a good lot of gravel road on that ride. Summer routes here include one that is a good bit over 70 miles..and I don't hit reserve. Haven't measured what it takes to fill, though.
Certainly it depends on the conditions. I've gotten 20 miles to empty, too! ..sand...
