• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Rear suspension setting

I have an 2011 RT Limited with the rear suspension button. Which setting would afford me a better ride as far as swaying is concerned on the open highway, the hard setting or the soft setting ?
 
I don't think the rear suspension setting has much to do with swaying, unless the tire is really low on air. Try increasing the front tire pressure, about 2 pounds at a time, max is about 20. What are your front shocks set at? Generally the higher the better. And most important, do not white knuckle the handlebars, grip them just enough to know you've got hold of 'em.

Shocks are set at factory setting, whatever that is
 
My suggestion would be to go for a nice ride and try each setting for 5 or 10 miles. I don't have much trouble with any setting when on the highway. you may be over compensating with steering, the alignment of the front wheels could be off slightly, check the pressure of the front tires also. I can go down the highway set the bike straight and take both hands off the handlebars for a couple hundred yards without much need for correction. If you are really new with the bike I would suggest loosening up on your corrections in steering, I was all over the place at first until I got the feel for the bike.
