I'm getting a slight wobble at speed but only in high speed sweepers. It seems to only happen at 80+ mph in corners. She is rock solid in a straight line up to 110 mph. I need to start adjusting a bit to see if I can't figure this out. I'll report back as I make adjustments.

No-one wants to make a couple of bucks selling the screen that everyone hates?

Roadrash83 I never saw your question. I am pulling my GMC pickup with the bike in the bed. I tried a carrier with the Versys but it was too much weight on the back axle.

Does anyone have a stock GT screen they don't want? I am looking for one to cut down for a shorty. I have added a small deflector to the top of the original on my bike which makes it fine for colder weather but am looking for more airflow for the summer. Thanks, Mike

I have the same problem but just use a ratchet strap to hold the tailgate up against the back tire when I haul the bike in the pickup behind the RV. Just run a strap from one side to the other and cinch it up against the tire.

I've wired my Zumo 590 to the auxiliary plug behind the screen with no power problems.

In A mode the throttle is a little more abrupt than my Versys 1000 but in B mode it is less sensitive. As I get used to it I ride in B or standard around town and in A when playing in the twities. I only have 2000 miles on the bike and I am getting more and more comfortable with the throttle, even in A, with more experience. The advise to remove as much play in the cable as possible makes sense and will be my next step in searching for Nirvana. I would not advise running away from this bike due to any worry about this issue. This thing is WAY too much fun!

Out of curiosity, what is the reason for the added clock at the left of the dash? I did notice it was set 1 hour ahead of the factory clock.

This was taken on a weekday ride in the Colorado Rockies north of Wooland Park having lunch at the Deckers cafe. On a good weekend, there can be 30 or so bikes stopping here for lunch. There was a great mix of bikes in the parking lot. Ducatti, a Moto Guzzi, two BMW's, an RJ09 and my GT.

I think the Pilot Roads may be great for a tire on a commuter or touring bike but not as good on a sport bike that is used primarily in the curves. The front tire was the one that always went south on me as the sides of the tire wore quickly and the center did not. This left a profile that looked like a bicycle tire and it would fall off the center strip leaning into corners. The rear always feathered just like your pictures and I never had one last more than 3,000 miles. I was running these on heavier and more powerful bikes, a Versys 100 and a Tiger 1050, but still felt that the tires should have performed better given the price.

Try this site. This looks just like the one I bought.

Once again, for $25, it is cheep to try even if it doesn't work for you.

If the hand at the top of the screen reduces it enough, you might try one of the smaller screen extensions. it works for me. The larger unit you were using may have been too large and caused additional turbulence.

The one I used is even smaller than the MRA unit. I paid $25 for it out of China. If the larger MRA unit does't work, this one probably will not either. If you want the ultimate in protection and adjustability, take a look at Madstad. I had their screens on my Vstrom and Tiger 1050, they are outstanding. They are pricey though.

I am 6'3" and just installed a small extension similar to this on my GT. (www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Windshield-Extension-Deflector-Motorcycle/dp/B06X3TS89H). This does not give you the perfect pocket of still air that some are looking for but does allow for open visor riding on occasion. I don't mind the original screen as far as wind protection is concerned but the noise level was terrible. This unit smooths the air around my helmet an drops the noise level dramatically. Try holding your hand over the stock screen at speed and see if the noise drops to a level you can live with. If a flat hand will do the trick, this small screen may be all you need. Given the cheep price it is worth a try. I will be looking for a stock screen to cut down for summer riding to give good air flow to my body and smooth air to the helmet in hot weather.

Please use all metal right angle valve stems. I had a rubber unit give it up at speed due to the stem separating at the wheel and causing the tire to loose all pressure very quickly. Only use units that will not tear due to the forces of riding.

I noticed today that there is a noticeably louder high pitched gear whine in third and sixth gears in my new GT. I only have 1100 miles on the bike so I don't know if it will moderate with use. I doesn't bother me as there are many different noises inherent in any motorcycle.

How old and what brand are the tire?. I have had tires howl a bit as they wear.

I just traded my Versys 1000 for a 2019 GT yesterday. Only have 20 miles of highway travel so far. Maiden voyage will be tomorrow. Loved the Versys but was looking for something lighter with a few more goodies. I am living in my motorhome and enjoying good roads all over the US, currently in the Hill Country of Texas. I am sure I will be learning a bunch from all of you in the future.
