Calling all Gen3 owners! Lets talk about riding modes

[networkguy]

So which riding mode do you use? I use Sport if solo and Touring if riding 2-up. Makes for a smoother ride for wifey

So how do you ride? If you use both, what conditions change your riding mode?

 

[dj bill]

dont forget under your seat is the IM GAY mode switch,lol.(yes its jealousy)

No doubt Fairlaner will choose both. It's been well known for quite some time that he goes both ways.............

This might get fun......

 

[networkguy]

Oh well

 

[Fairlaner]

I did indeed choose both, mostly because i can.....

As the switch in my brain has been stuck on "sport" since 1978.....I'd likely choose the same get the bike to match.

Touring just makes the bike to slower right?

Or not.. There are what?? 5 now?

I tried using the Touring mode but I really can't see the value. There's always a time that I'm going to want to kick it in the ass and go and I don't want to funtz with a switch before I do.

But it's really cool to point it out to my friends when talking about the new bike!

Not really slower...just smoother on shifts and take off due to gradual introduction of power.

I use both, sometimes you like it hot, othertimes not. If one weren't familar with the bike, sport could scare. Boo!

 

[AKjitsu]

I find 'T' quite handy for avoiding unintended throttle inputs whn riding on real rough surfaces. Like the gravel road I live on. Or going over SkooterG's drunken body in the parking lot. Or the trail of farkles falling off beemerdons' sorry-ass Gen I bike.

 

[Fairlaner]

The farkles will be falling of don's gen3 later today.....

T mode is not slower it is (like NWG says) smoother at slower speeds.....all you need is a 1/4 turn and you get all the power you could need.

Brother Dan: Screw Bluesy and the Pomeranian he rode in on, there will be 6 this afternoon and Hell Yes we are going to start our own GenIII Club. I voted for Touring which is the same mode as my BMW K1600GT, if it is that much slower compared to Sport then I will go back and change my vote to Both. GenIII's rule and GenII's drool!

 

[SkooterG]

Mi bastard step-pappy doesn't even have it yet but is an expert on the POS Gen III FJR. Aye carumba!

 

[Redfish Hunter]

Am I reading this correctly? Has Beemerdons made a deal with the devil? I thought you guys did not deal with RideNow. Oh well, at least he got it. I guess this means no cross country fly-n-ride.
