Long Distance

I plan on going back to panama city,fl from orlando, which is about a 5 1/2 hr ride. Now is going long distances on this bike okay at a constant speed. Will it hurt anything, besides my back?

RE: Long Distance

No......why would it hurt anything? Your wrist's may tingle, but seriously, 6hrs or so........not that long of a ride. You'll be fine.

RE: Long Distance

no, shouldn't hurt any. doesn't hurt your car, does it? if you are worried about though, just pop it down a gear and ride it out for 5 miles. I know i wouldn't.

RE: Long Distance

if you have aftermarket sprockets, i recomend changing back to stock gearing unless you like riding at 8k rpm all the time. and you won't have to fill up 3 or 4 times like you might if you have -1/+2.
