    Default Is it Possible

    That my 2018 RT just broke in at 2k miles? It seems much more responsive and quick all of a sudden.

    More likely you are more relaxed and confident than when you first got it.

    Just another possibility -- did you stop using ECO mode?

    Exactly what I thought! I know at about 1500 I felt like I had a new bike. I think everything just came together and I was more comfortable, funny how you notice the difference from one ride to the last one.
