First impressions from a new owner.

Yes.

Also try renaming it to a .pdf file. That has forced the proper interface to run.

The link is only valid for a day or two and then you would have to resubmit.

Lol I need to pull out my owners manual also and see how to switch modes while riding. I was trying to do it the other day.

You can change ride mode by starting engine and then push starter button again, that will highlight whatever mode it is in then push it again to change to next mode and give it a couple of seconds to set and all done. You can do it while riding using the same procedure but the throttle must be closed.

I took my 2017 out for a longer ride two days ago in Canada. It was a warm 14C when I left but started getting cooler to 12 C soon and then it started raining heavy.
I still do not know how to switch from Touring to rain while riding and need to know how to do a lot of things still. The ride was very smooth and beautiful. As the previous OP has said it feels more home with a higher RMP around 3000 than with a lower RMP. I did not have to shift into 6th much as the average speed was around 100 kms.
The bike was hard on the bumps and so now trying to see how I could make it a bit more smoother on the bumps. I ride single and my weight is around 94kgs.
Also trying to see if I can get the rear luggage box holders removed. I have removed the luggage box itself as I do not need it and the two side boxes are good enough for me.

Thanks. I still hadn't pulled out the owners manual to refresh myself on this, I'm good to go now👍 seems like it's that way on most other bikes too(other than using the actual starter button)
 
More riding today and there was a lot of wind noise that I noticed today and yes it was a bit windy too. I did not notice anything wrong with the height of the windshield as I could just look over it and it was not the buffeting over it but simply a lot of wind noise. I did notice too that the fuel consumption seems to be fairly high compared to my two other bikes which one is a 1600 Yamaha Road star and the other a 1400 Royal Star Venture. Yes it seems to like a higher RMP than the other two bikes.
