Well, this happened. Picked up my '16 R3R yesterday. Bit of a change from my previous bike (worked XV1600A) but I've wanted an R3 since I first saw a poster shot of one in '05 in a bike magazine. In essence it was the bike that tipped me over the line to getting a motorcycle licence, so this day was always going to happen.
The main concern at the moment is that when trying to set the preload, one of the shocks won't let me set it to 5. 4 yes, but when you turn to 5 it rather aggressively resets to 1. Is this likely to be a faulty shock? I was planning on eventually upgrading them to the Ikon 7610-1650-SP8s but am wondering if that needs to be a sooner rather than later task?
