2019 limited rt no stable ride on interstate.

[UtahPete]

I ride interstate quite a bit and encounter semi trucks regularly. I ride an f3s with all stock suspension and find the bike little bothered by semi wind. Your body feels the buffeting and if you try to overgrip you will cause the bike to sway off course: try to keep the handlebars pointed straight down the road. Your machine does not need additional input to stay on line. I have driven over 70,000 miles on a gs and f3 and never found a need to change out stock sway bars or shocks. I corner well above posted speed advisories (50 in a 30 posted, for example) and faster than most riding companions. A lot of what you read is from newbies who haven't learned to ride properly.

:agree:

My tires looked good but I replaced the Kendas anyway. It was like magic. Now the bike rides and handles the way it should have all along.

My experience was that replacing the Kendas did more for handling than adding the BajaRon swaybar.

One sad fact of riding Spyders RTs is that they have the front-end aerodynamics of a barn door. There's a lot of surface area up front for crosswinds to pound on. Good tires and proper alignment go a long way to keeping the Spyder planted while the bodywork shakes in the breeze.

I found on my ‘14 RT-s filling the gap between the rider and the trunk reduced felt buffeting quite a bit

Maybe just me but for the price of theses bikes they should not need mods from the factory

They don't. nojoke

I have to agree with Pete. They do handle adequately as they come from the factory. My Spyder was 3 years old when I bought it. The PO put 8500 mi on it before I got it. He thought it was great. I rode it for a year before I did anything to it. The biggest improvement was the number of miles I put on the Spyder and time and effort in developing my Spyder riding skill. I read the "how to ride a Spyder" section in the owner's manual. I laid out practice course as they suggested. I read the sticky here Do's and don'ts of riding a Spyder. I guess I am a slow learner but it took me several weeks and a few 1000 miles to really get comfortable on the Spyder. If it has been awhile since I have done some hard cornering, I still talk myself through the corners. When I added the BajaRon bar, the alignment, the better front tires I could really feel the difference. Be patient with yourself, and your ride. It does take some time. This is really different from almost anything else you have ridden/driven. Have your dealer check it out to make sure there aren't any mechanical problems if you are worried about that. Ride, Ride, Ride.

Maybe I missed a suggestion to confirm the air pressures in the tires? Maybe try to reduce it a bit?
