Last time I was out on the R9T a couple of things proved less than ideal.
Firstly I used the heated grips and found pressing the button a tad awkward:if I used my right thumb the throttle either opened or closed and if I used my left hand the movement unsettled the bike.
Secondly I suffered pins and needles in my right hand after riding for about 40 min, admittedly I may have been riding progressively which meant holding on a bit tighter than if I had been driving in a built up area.
Although neither will result in a bike change- the rest of it more than makes up for these two issues I do wonder if it is just me.
I lowered the footpegs and the improvement in comfort is incredible. For anyone finding the riding position a bit cramped I would certainly highly recommend lowering the pegs, its not a difficult job and in my opinion well worth it.
