Seeking advice

[MidTNDawg]

FWIW

I love my 2012 RT-S-S! I have over 35 years experience on 2 wheels and I really want the Spyder to work out for me. I have almost 3000 miles on the clock and I still do not feel comfortable on my RT. I just don't seem to be able to get used to the steering. There are times when everything was great, but overall it scares me. I was a very fast rider on 2 wheels, but anything over 50 MPH makes me uncomfortable. The bike has been checked recently by my excellent dealer and they say that all is up to spec. I have Elkas all around and have Baja Rons sway bar and I am running 20lbs in the front tires and 30 in the rear. I have read all the offerings on this terrific forum, but I still haven't found the answer to my discomfort. I hope the collective wisdom on this site can offer me some sage advice!

I have over 600K miles on 2 wheels. It took me 3000 miles for my instinctive reaction to be appropriate for 3 wheels. Just hang in, keep riding, and you will become comfortable, I am sure.
