Sizes should be the same. But the rake is shorter I believe in the 18+ Models. So that could make for a different setup on the forks.

ya, its a daytona novelty helmet; I believe it's called the "jockey" helmet; it's meant to be worn the other way around, but I wear it backwards; doesn't have as much wind noise when worn backwards

Is anyone running a Bridgestone Battlecruise on the rear of their Breakout? I’ve heard good things from people with touring bikes. The 240 can be had for $150 shipped, which seems pretty reasonable to me if it’s a decent tire. That’s cheaper than some of the off-brands out there.

Got my "new to me" 2014 Breakout out for the first run today. Only went about 20 miles because I wanted to take it easy on the bike where it has been
sitting for near two years. Noticed the small red electrical/security light just off to the right centre of speedometer came on a couple of times during the ride.
It would come on for about a minute or two and go out for 10 minutes. It does not say much in the owners manual about this other than contact the dealer
if it stays lit. Do any of you guys notice if this light comes on while your riding your bike?

The problem might possible be the battery in the security fob. When I put the bike in last night I had the fob in my
pocket but the bike went into secure mode and would not come out. I am going to pick up a new battery today and
see if that makes a difference.

Oke, let me know if that was the problem, I'm curious now.

Very possible. That red light is the security system light.
