Ever think this bikes are just getting to heavy with all this crap on them? Other night I wanted to sell mine and just stay with my old one. Then you got the rear engine guard which tight to the bag, making it hard to get a grip.

 

Nailed it. Clueless

 

I have had RDRS from day one with the 2020 RGL. I do ride in rain. And in cold and hot.. RDRS is a tool. If you put to much faith in it , it will burn you.
If you use it as intended it will be a benefit.
Unlike a lot of the tech they stick in the bikes it has not had any issues ...yet.
What was surprising about it is how well it worked even with sidecar attached. 114 with a good stage 2 bike has plenty of power. On wet roads with it selected the limiting of throttle response does make a difference. being one to test stuff and play a bit . It has limits. Get off in wet grass it can only do so much. But that would be expected.
You can only turn it off while stopped. Once you shut bike off it defaults back on. But you can put it in or out of rain mode at any time. The normal mode is on all the time unless you shut it off. But that does not totally shut it down..
Good luck finding what you want in 2025.

 

100%.

Can't ride for **** and doesn't own ****. Ask him to post a pic of him and his scoot and he has some bullshit excuse like "we're not friends".......one thing you've gotten right.

I'm not interested in RDRS. I've ridden all over this Country and rain doesn't interfere with those plans. I have good rain gear, and it does a top notch job. I've sat and sipped coffee in a hotel several hundred miles from home waiting for it to stop raining, and weather apps on our cell phones can really help us make decisions. Bottom line is, you gotta go when you gotta go, rain be damned.

I'm lucky in the fact that my wife, if she's along on whatever road trip I'm on, rain doesn't bother her one bit, she has the same Harley rain gear I have. Plus she comfortable going down the highway with me in pouring rain. It's not ideal, just something that has to be dealt with by a good rider and a good machine, not technology.

If you want RDRS, there's absolutely nothing wrong with having it if it makes you more comfortable.

 

This. electronic nannies may be helpful (and that is another discussion), but they do not replace ability.

 

Its not an excuse, it is a refusal. Why would I let you tell me what to do? Besides not letting you tell me what to do, there is nothing for me to gain. If you believe I don't have a bike that just shows how intelligent you are. Not someone I would let tell me what to do, or care for.

But I am waiting for the posts on how I crapped on this thread. The fake outrage. From, those kind of people.

 

"I've ridden all over this Country and rain doesn't interfere with those plans" ... Jack ... I've been in 46 of the 50 states ... Pretty sure I've been wet in every one of them

Another off topic post.

 

You don’t have RDRS on a bike. Assuming you even have a bike. How can you post so much about something you have no personal experience with?

Never mind. That was a rhetorical question.
