I get up to 200 (in summer) on my FZ6-SA (about 175 in winter) before reserve.
AFAIK the S2 has the same 19.4 litre tank, so I'm not sure why you get so much less mileage.

The engine is a bit "buzzy", but you get used to it.
Quote:Clutch feels heavier and not convinced by the free-play adjuster which appears to only lock on whole 360 degree rotations.
If the cable hasn't been lubed, that could be why it's heavy. Also I think the free-play adjuster is a two part version (a large ring and a smaller barrel), where you can release one part, adjust and then lock them back together.
Quote:Spark plugs are a fecking nightmare to get to. Haynes books says remote radiator, tank, air box and battery, for every 6k spark plug gap inspection - WTF?! Got in there with spark plug tool from under seat kit and spanner, after loosening off radiator mounting to prise it slightly forward without disconnecting. Really need a ratchet spanner set though...
You've got the right technique. Haynes are talking out of their backside on this one! (I've seen a video where someone actually does it without even taking the radiator off, but that's a hell of a job...)
Quote:Split fairing infils seem a good idea to aid access when lifting tank, again seems to be a practical design choice to aid servicing.
I took the infills off mine permanently because it was a total PITA having to remove them to lift the tank, although you can do it by removing the bolt at the seat end of the tank and sliding it backwards a couple of inches to clear the infills.
