    Thanks to everyone for the advice - I guess I'm going to have to keep a closer eye on my oil level. I don't ride very often (mostly just weekends) and I don't ride very hard, so I'd be surprised if...

    My advice would be to determine what riding position you like. The RS will give you the most forward riding position and is most like a sport bike (though in all honesty, you can't really compare...

    My 2010 RT A/C won't hold air for more than a few hours. Everyday I ride it, I need to refill the airbag because it will go flat.

    Thanks Everyone

    Thanks for all your comments. I wasn't looking to get a new helmet, but I think that might be the best route if I get a good one with the inner sun shield. In the interim, sunglasses it is......

    I'm getting ready to do the same thing and my dealer (in IL) told me the same thing. They said something about rubber compound used in the tire possibly throwing off a sensor. Personally, I'm not...

    Bob - do you make/sell these cables? I don't have the equipment to make a cable, nor do I really want to purchase it, because I doubt I'll ever make another cable. If you sell them for a reasonable...

    I have a 2010 RT. I probably got the bike up about 14'-15''. I just used one of the locking jack stops that allowed me to get the jack stands under the front. I really didn't measure it out. 18...

    Thanks for the advice. My cycle jack does lock so I will make sure to use that in addition to the jack stands. Incidentally, I also have car ramps, but I didn't think they'd be high enough off the...

    Are you sure the clutch fully locks at 3200 (+-200)? That seems awful low, since my RT is usually lugging along at 3200 unless I'm in 1st gear. Like Spyder Tony, I don't shift out of 1st gear until...
