I've been desperately trying to 'gel' with my Crosstourer and it's just not happening so far. I did a favorite run on Saturday leaving Crieff and heading Tarbert, Inveraray, Lochilphead, Oban and back via the Green Welly. It's a decent enough hike covering close to 200 miles, maybe a little more and I got back feeling like I'd done 6 rounds with Mike Tyson! I've done this route many times before on many different bikes but never felt so drained...the bike doesn't feel heavy to ride, even from walking pace it's easily manageable. Maybe, I've got a flu bug coming on or something...
(The front suspension is set up with exactly 30% sag and 5 clicks from hard on compression settings.The rear is set with 25% sag and 1.5 turns from max on compression.) Rear compression setting seem high but is the recommended setting in the book and any less and the bike starts to wallow...
Help, it's a phenomenal bike and the engine is a dream but right now I reckon I would take my '94 TDM over the Crosstourer if I had the trip above to do again.
