Weird gauge, indeed. It would have been more intuitive to have gone from two solid bars, to one solid bar, then to flashing. Mine went back to the dealer for, more or less, what you describe and I have since learned to live with this quirky aspect of what is otherwise a rock solid utilitarian...

Yo, from a Midland fellow NC rider.

Pictures when I get home and connect camera and computer.

What an experience riding down here. My nc700 is home in the frozen north so I'm on a 660 Yamaha made here in Brazil. The first time I came down, three years ago, I was pretty intimidated with the lane splitting and essentially no traffic laws. When the police can't pull you over everything...
