Has any body that has bought a new RTS 2011 had to make any adjustments to the tire pressure or shocks than factory settings for a better feel or control of the bike? Thank's , Bob :dontknow:

180 pound rider on 2011 RTS with shocks set at #3 and tires at 18 psi works better than my 2010 at #5 and same tire pressure.

Replaced the stock sway bar and upped the stock shock setting to 5 on my 2009 GS. Noticable difference, but still seemed a bit weak in hard cornering.

Just installed the 2011 RT shocks and :2thumbs: WHAT A DIFFERENCE! IMHO the best $300 spent for increased handling and safety.

Thanks! My 2011 RTS is close to being ready to picked up. Having a bunch of crome, CB, GPS and a brake setup on the handlebar added. It is snowing outside now maybe pick it up next weekend. Thanks again... Bob :clap:
