Did you do the tire removal and install yourself?

Sorry for the late answer - I did, and those are some heavy tires! Had to purchase a set of tires because three of the old were cracked. Left the runflats out and installed double beadlocks and centramatics. It runs really smooth compared to my first brief outing when I got it running.

I let the fuel level drop below a half tank to check what kind of MPG I'm getting.
Calculated out at 9.6

So got a message about a motorcycle that went off the trail and down a slope that needed recovered (I volunteer in my area for off road vehicle recoveries that tow trucks won't go to)
Used the tow bar to get a little more height on the lift
It went pretty straight forward. Bike was in excellent shape for the fact it went off the hillside, but it was upright the whole time.
Loaded it up and took it to their camp site. Bike wouldn't start because the computer in it said there was a fault in the brake light. Brake light seemed to come on just fine, but still won't do anything. Honestly, any vehicle designed to be able to go off road that won't start for a reason like that is stupid. Anyway, the tailgate just barely shut with the bike in it.
