I don't know how far most of you go before, but I usually start to look for gas at about 120-130 miles. The fartherest (before today) I ever rode on a tank a gas was about 152 miles... I was in the middle of NOWHERE in Southeast Missouri today and no gas stations around. Even at 165 miles, I still didn't hit reserve...I mighta went a few more miles even. How about some of you.

Anyone tried a 185 on their RSTD? Wasn't sure if there would be a fit problem. I ordered a 165 and will see how much room I have for the next tire. Selection of 185s is a bit better than 165. I had a General Altimax HP on my last bike and loved that tire. Looked great and handled well.

There's been a lot of technical discussion & suggested fixes for this "phenomenon" which seems quite common on 1st gen's. No doubt some have cured the problem with one or more of these fixes. I just found another fix which I don't recall having been mentioned. (and this one is highly technical so pay close attention) I would notice a wobble (as though the rear end was swaying side-to-side) and was gonna come loose from the front end around 165 km/h (you all know the symptom I'm talking about-right?) Last evening, I was cruising along, feet on the highway pegs, legs spread open to grab air (it was a very hot evening)...I cranked it up...165...170...175...180...185... hey!!! where'd that wobble go? I brought my knees in closer to the bike and there it (the wobble) was....hmmmmm I thought... spread my legs open again and the wobble went away. So there you have it... create some wind drag and it helps "balance" the wobble! That'll be $100 please!
