Hello from central California

[Tierhog]

Hi everyone. Just bought a yellow and black GS/SM5. Hadn't been on a bike or anything close in over 20 years... Drove it 200 miles Home...lots of fun. Still getting used to the higher revs.

Hope you have 200 x 200 x 200 x200 more safe and happy miles on your new Ryde! :yes:

Yes, that would be one billion six hundred million....:thumbup:

[Tierhog]

Since I have everyone's attention, I was hoping to ask a spyder question for those of you that have a few thousand miles under their belt.
Is it normal to have some noise in the front while driving. No clicks or clunks or metal to metal... Just a simple "howl" of sorts that seems to come from wheel/hub/front undercarriage area? In other bikes I'm used to very quiet front..
It's drowned out unless I pull the clutch in or drive at lower RPMs.
Thanks
Steve
