  • Confident acceleration for highway merges and two-up touring.

Performance setup: how to choose your baseline

Before you add accessories, start with a baseline that matches how you ride. A few quick decisions can make the bike feel sharper, calmer, or more comfortable—without changing the core character.

  • Route mix: more pavement vs. more dirt will influence your preferred control settings.
  • Load: luggage and passenger weight can change how the bike responds under acceleration and braking.
  • Tires: tire choice has a major impact on traction feel and stability.
