Check out ride and an issue?

Post by Randyjaco »

Well today I got to take my new to me 2017 RT out for my first real ride. Over all, I am very happy with the bike. The first issue is the seat. The stock seat is NOT all day comfortable. I see a Terry's custom seat in my future ;)
The next is a little concerning. At most speeds and conditions, it preformed like a champ. But at speeds above 90 mph, it seemed a little anemic. It was as if the engine was not getting consistent air or fuel. My F800ST pulls like a banshee at those speeds. I am sure that this condition is not normal to the RT. Any thought on what it might be?
