1. Do not dump in her garage. Noxious fumes degrade performance.
2. Clean engines are happy engines: Wash all tools (body, hands, mouth, and etc) immediately before attempting any maintenance.
3. Tonguing the tonsils obstructs the air intake and will cause a stall.
4. A clitoris is not a primer bulb--punching on it does not start a motor or help it purr.
5. Clean dipsticks before inserting, failure to do so is why happy cases become crankcases.
6. Gas the throttle for hills and curves only--revving an engine when it could gently coast makes impressive noise but hurts performance.
7. Use the correct gear--if you make the engine pull inefficiently, it will run out of gas sooner.
8. Even engines like to be respected: Read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (see below).
9. Operators who are distracted or intoxicated will not get optimal performance.
10. Use the manufacturer's suggested lube and gas.
Mileage depends on the performance of both operator and operatee.

Make sure the dipstick is clean, please. One can tell even if it's only been handled too much & not dipped.
Clean and smooth is always the way to go.
Oh and be a real good guy and keep the left hand for certain areas and the right one for other areas... That would be very respectful
