So, as a new owner of a 2014 RK and a guy who enjoys taking sweepers at speed, I am wondering about air suspension settings, I set mine at 50 PSI (Tour pack loaded and GF on). Are we saying the stiffer, the less this in an issue?
As B Bop may know (we are a town apart) with the new 70 MPH speed limit here, most people seem to do 80 and left lane of the blue route was 85-90 the whole way from 95 to Lansdale exit on Monday. Nice wide curves the whole way up, no wobble for me.

Same here, zero wobble.

Since this thread started I have written a thread on bagger wobble, which sets out to explain it. The most important thing to say is that not everyone suffers from it and it is quite normal to never experience it, however there are plenty of us who do!

Yes its a great long section of road, you can really book on the blue route buttttt would advise off peak riding only as there are some crazy aggressive divers during rush hours.


I'm headed out of town (work related) for two weeks, will contact you after to see if we can hook up do some riding before it gets too cold.


Oh by the way, nice looking scoot! Talk soon!

This past Monday I was coming back from the eastern shore, it was mid day, still plenty aggressive divers, at speed I tend to hold back about a football field from the car in front of me. Lots of people think I am holding an opening just for them.

Reach out I try and ride every day.
