Hi dogs I am a new f800 owner so I have a few questions. I just bought an immaculate 2010 with 13k km.

1) The Hella power socket next to the ignition. What amp fuse does it carry? The manual just says the fuses are electric. I can't seem to use my 12v compressor in it without tripping the fuse. Does this mean I need to fit another 12v point direct to the battery?

2) The info on the dash. The how many kms till fill up required option. On a full tank mine reads 140. Does not make sense, I certainly will get more than that mileage or is it set to miles? it doesn't give a measurement, just a number?

3) Im looking at getting a bash plate but fok they not cheap. Any guys have the local manufactured ones?

Any other tips will be great.
Thanks
