    Madstad Windscreen

    After riding on hwy for 45 minutes I can see I don't want to work that hard with oem screen. I don't want to get used to that. Does anyone have experience with above brand. Size you have, your height, how satisfied you are. I like how it is attached to the bike, one piece, looks solid. Also a...

    Peak Horsepower

    I read that 4k rpms is peak horsepower on these new bikes. What am I missing? Mine pulls hard up to 6k in every gear.. if I change gears at 4k, my Honda shadow 1100 would beat me. I must not understand the statement. Explain please to put me out of misery.

    Battery Life

    How would one avoid getting stranded with weak or dead battery? Check voltage with bike off periodically to be 12v and above? Wait until slow starting? A certain period of time and swap for new? Kinda like the last option. 1.5 yr old now and wondering.

    Engine Light

    After a nice ride I stopped about 20 minutes from home to clean bike. After getting back on engine light showed. I pulled over, did walk around as bike idled, no leaking, no change in sound. Turned bike off. Checked oil, full. Drove home, at lights trying to tell if radiator fan turned on. Not...

    MPH Gear changing

    Just curious what others approximate speed is when changing gears. Not when your getting on it full force, but your normal going in town. I noticed my mpg were high compared to others, and see it's that I have changed gears too soon to have the most fun. Now I am in 4th going 60-65 and like it...

    Clearing Maintenence Wrench

    Posting in case others might make mistake I did. Directions on cheap scanner said " turn ignition to position II. ( don't have to start engine). I assumed this meant toggle switch up lighting dash and lights, not down to start bike. Wrong! Must hit start switch once, the primer sounding. No...

    OIL ANALYSIS OF CHEAP OIL

    Quicksilver full synthetic 15w-50. Blackstone said all looks good. But I have no idea what some of the numbers shown mean toward wear. I sent email for explanation. Where it shows "properties", figures often not in the "should be" range. Will send in next oil sample of expensive motul oil and...

    Loose Mirror

    I don't expect it, but has anyone had one of their mirrors move while excellerating to over 100mph? My left one moves easier, less firm than the right one and today first time moved as stated. There is a nut but has no effect on firmness of the ball and socket mirror stability. Looks like...

    Exhaust rattle

    Can those with the newer r3 verify a slight rattle when you tap the black part of top exhaust, right side? Bottom one quiet. Don't know if it's normal. Wouldn't know how to tighten as no visible bolts. Thanks!

    Oil Choice

    As long as the oil meets the specs of the manufacturer's recommended oil, Motul 4t 4 stroke 7100 15w-50 full synthetic oil, what reason would you not choose a cheaper oil? Example: Quick Silver full syn. Motorcycle oil. Curious. Hate stupid wasteful spending, as well as not spending what is...

    Sensors on New R3

    There are 2 sensors. Does anyone know the relationship between them, are they dependent on each other, when starting manually with fob or key held on rear sensor, is front sensor involved? When using keyless starting (fob)is rear sensor involved? Want info before dealer working on it.

    Battery Choice

    Probably too soon but has anyone replaced stock battery yet? If so with what? Noticed not much choice as the dimensions are not the same on higher cca batteries from my search. Just looking. I'm thinking such a large engine would make higher cca's better. No? Maybe not, otherwise engineers would...

    For those that have this screen for awhile, can you let me know if the larger spacers held up. One of mine split, exposing the bolt. I know I did not overtighten! Luckily company is sending me replacements. Thanks for responses.

    FOB WORKS FLAWLESSLY

    I would like to know how many with the new bikes no problems with fob. Connects 1st time every time when you hit the switch. Fed up with it sometimes not. I turn fob off everytime, hit fob when ready to go and sometimes NOPE. Have to hit fob again, then in a few seconds connects. Ready to call...
