@74demon the service dept. said the same thing, that it was okay being a bit too full. Its just odd that I’ve rode 350 miles since and only noticed the smell and the oil near the fill plug the last couple of days (last 50 miles). I’ll wipe it clean and see how it does during a planned ride tomorrow. Thanks again.

Thanks @01cbr600f4i my commute is about 25 minutes. In the cage it feels like 45 mins, on the bike 10 mins.

@74demon I feel dumb that I didn’t think to drain all and then refill to the correct level. Heres a photo with the bike upright, if I let it angle just a bit, the level drops below the top of the sight glass. Also of note, a trace of oil seems to have leaked from the fill plug down the case to the bottom. I washed the bike right after the…[Read more]

Thanks @94f2-08rr I’ve grown very partial to it.

@chrisfl I work at a VA as a cook so I don’t carry too much. I carry a knife kit and uniform and small miscellaneous items. I use an Ogio no drag mach 5.

Here’s a video of it. Might be just what you need, but they are pricey

@dubv I don’t have many options for the route to and from work. Your ride home sounds nice! Do you carry much on your commute? If so what type of storage do you have? I want to commute more but I need to carry a laptop and the old backpack I have doesn’t seen to be a good solution. Any recommendations
Thanks

@emcue Yes, lol! I guess I’m not the only one that looks for any excuse to go for a ride. I’ll have to look at the game. Thanks

Sweet ride! @chrisfl
You should participate in the Member Picture Game. It’ll give you a reason to use your bike more often lol!

There is a nice new road around the rowing competition lakes. Yes, it’s mostly flat around here.

Hi everyone and thanks for the warm welcome. I was able to have a nice ride after work today and got a photo or two for everyone.

Using an old jansport backpack for now, but it blocks the air flow through the back of my mesh jacket. A couple of days a week, I commute and need to carry a 15″ macbook pro retina. Looking at backpacks and tail bags made specifically for motorcycles. Really on the fence.

I am wearing the Icon Anthem mesh, its kinda warm here in fla. The jacket breathes well, but doesn’t seem very durable. I’ll likely change to a textile or leather this fall.
