I love this bike but here are a few little things that bug me.
1. Tail cone is a PITA to install and remove compared to previous gens. Gotta get it lined up just right.
2. Storage area under the tail cone is all but useless. Putting the tools in plastic holders makes you have to be careful what you put back there. For example., I wouldn't want to put my phone or anything that could get scratched back there.
3. Cruise control could be accomplished without locking out all other display controls. For example if you want to check your gas mileage or range to empty you have to turn off cruise to use the controls. A simple up and down button would be great.
4. Hill hold control needs to turn on with much less of an incline. It doesn't turn on when I need it and when it does, it always catches me by surprise usually when I take off again. My friend's Triumph Rocket turns it on uphill, downhill on any incline.
5. I miss the old Gen 2 gauges. The blingy clear indicators and writing is harder to see in the sun.
6. LED headlight is a vast improvement over previous gens as long as you are on a light colored road surface. On dark asphalt, the LED light washes out and it gets harder to see. I may need to do some adjustments.
7. The strakes under the tail light collect a lot of dirt, they look good though.
8. As mentioned earlier the cruise control button is in a bad place. When you turn off cruise by any method, Brake, Clutch, Roll throttle forward the bike instantly drops to zero throttle. To counter that I roll on the throttle slightly until I just start to accelerate then tap the brakes and take over manually.
