I have been trying to follow if these problems appear more in the US or non-US made bikes. Haven’t done any hard tracking but I think they are showing up more on non-US bikes…

maybe we need to do a poll

Dear God, Don't trade it in.. sell it. For used RG prices right now, you can give someone a good deal and still make money versus your trade.

Have you tried setting up a custom ride mode and setting preload to Rider only? That seems to have helped in my case. (My theory is it reduces margin of error over letting bike sense weight and decide)

Corbin seat review after 12 hrs of seat time: It’s hard, but a much better platform for my big butt. I can sit forward in twisties, and sit back cruising without the pressure on my tailbone I felt with the stock seat in all positions. The pressure is better spread on this larger seat. After 3hrs on day one, I pulled out the air hawk. I can ride tank-to-tank with the Corbin+air hawk. I couldn’t do that on the stock seat even with the air hawk. Today I rode home without the air hawk (6hrs). It was hard not to pull it out but have read I need to “break in” the Corbin seat. I was definitely squirmy after an hour in seat. Fortunately I found beautiful spots to pull over for a break.

1st mountain ride on the Pan Am review: It’s made for mountain riding! I had a blast, on pavement and gravel/dirt. It makes my Ultra seem slow and heavy (because it is comparably). I’m adjusting to the attention it gets from all types of riders. Twice I had groups U-turn to chase me down. I enjoyed making it difficult for them to catch up. The NC mountain leaves were peaking. The Blueridge Parkway was a **** show, but the 2ndary roads were Awesome!

The more I ride, the more I like riding this bike.

Madstad windshield and Corbin Rally seat. The madstad is a 24” based on their height chart and is the equivalent of a barn door. I’ll be ordering a shorter screen for warmer weather. Rally seat gets its test ride tomorrow morning.

The Iron Butt Association plate came in the mail yesterday and it was raining, so I installed it.

Have a metal one but the chrome doesn't look so good on this bike. Settled for the BBG pin on the frame.

Re Custom setting for suspension problem. Just set one up so I'll see how that goes.

And it works ! I set up a copy of the basic ride mode and chose the Comfort setting for the suspension. Hasn't dropped yet.
I'll set up another for the Sport mode to see if that follows too.
