hope you enjoy it dude.
nope no fuel gauge, but you get a reserve, the tap is by your left leg, in the cut out in the seat unit.

give the throttle a blip to about 3000rpm while trying to get it into neutral. should go straight in. alternatively, slip it into neutral as you're coming to a stop. its nothing to worry about, as most nc30's seem to have this problem.

A note on the fuel tap, make sure you travel with it in the on position. It starts coughing and spluttering when it needs turned to reserve, when you fill up again turn it back to the on positions. Sods law states that if you leave it on reserve, next thing you know, you've run out of petrol. These bikes have lots of little quirks, but once you get used to them, they are awesome

:D I'll second that, I haven't looked back since I got mine in September, although after watching the RC30 vid posted in the General section, I went onto Bike Trader...
