Thank you gentlemen, great advise. I have those really plush 2" tie down extensions straps that Ill bring. I just found on maps a Shell station by me, just don't know if it carries fuel without ethanol, if they do that would be a huge win all around since I'm always battling time w/ my small engines, snow blower, chainsaw, leaf blower etc and ethanol. Even one of my Harleys is carbureted. Always use stabil, never thought about trying to find ethanol free fuel especially in our nanny state, don't think it's available but I'm definitely going to look later today.
O/T a bit but re: temps - It's getting cold in NY, riding tonight to an event w/ temps looking in the 40Fs. I'm very familiar w/ how different high performance car/SUV tires perform, have 2 different, full sets of wheels & tires for vehicles that I use for the winter not just because of snow but because of the performance/safety w/ different tire compounds...I know the RS10 is a performance street/track tire, I'm very careful about warming them up before getting on the gas or leaning the bike over but are certain temperatures just not safe period?
2nd question - When you start your bikes cold believe the manual only states to let it idle a few minutes. What I usually do if in no hurry is let it climb a bit but at minimum I wait till the temperature readout goes from showing _ _ to actual
#s , what about you? 165F max. if possible, thanks. I probably won't have to worry about this since I'm riding to the Dyno event but if the bike is sitting long enough and it's cold enough outside, is there also a minimum temp. I should have before a dyno pull?
