So I did my first "long ride" yesterday. 123 mile practice ride today. Edmonds to Bothell to Woodinville to Redmond to Fall City to Snoqualmie Falls (passed another Spyder Ryder there), to North Bend. Then I-90 to Issaquah. Promised myself a root beer at the XXX root beer place, but they were having a carshow there. Got a soda in Renton instead (I-90 to I-405), then though West Seattle, and to I-5 for the trip back.
The Spyder on-board computer system detected an RPS fault twice and placed it into "limp home" mode. However, both times the problem cleared after the bike had been parked for a few minutes. I don't know if the motion and yaw sensors on the steering may have timed out while on a wide curve (first time was on I-90 about a mile or two east of Issaquah, the second was just past Northgate on I-5), or I may have had my foot resting a bit too hard on the brake while throttling. Still, something to have them check when I bring it in for it's 600 checkup.
Was a fun ride, but I think I should have been home around 75 miles. I'm dead tired.
Fuel mileage isn't quite as bad as I was worried about (27.9 mpg). The analog fuel GAUGE on the other hand seems to be rather...well......wrong 99% of the time.
