Radio is not straight...
I was out cleaning the new bike today and noticed the radio is not straight. The left side is about 1/4 further in than the right side. Would you try to adjust it yourself or would you take your new bike into the shop to have the radio adjusted? Or would you jus ride it and ask they to adjust it at a latter date when some of the newness wears off?

Hmmm, they even have gay radios now. Who woulda thunk?

Have fun getting to the allen headed bolts holding the radio in the fairing mount bracket. I think I would have the dealer do it under warranty!

I'd repair it myself. This way you'll learn more about your bike and you can set the radio where YOU want it.

Easy enough to pull the fairing cap off and adjust it yourself. The radio mount is slotted for adjustment, just loosen the 4 allen head bolts and straighten it out.

If you're going to do it yourself, which I would do, go and get a good set of long (7" or longer) ball end Allen wrenches. You will need that long of reach to get at the four screws that hold your radio to the frame. Believe me I know...[:@]

I've heard them say radio sucks these days, but I never made the connection....
