2023 Sportster S impressions & quirks after 1,500 miles

[steelhorsedrifter761]

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum and just wanted to share some thoughts after riding 1,500 miles on my 2023 Sportster S. Overall, I'm really enjoying the torque and the ride, but I've had a couple of things I needed to fine-tune.

The throttle feels a bit twitchy at lower speeds, and it idles higher than my previous Scout, around 1,300 rpm. I tweaked the rear brake pedal since it felt a little soft when I got it, and now it's much improved. I also made a few adjustments to the suspension because it was a bit rough on bumpy roads right out of the box.

I'm curious if anyone else has made any brake adjustments or changed their suspension? I'd love to hear what setups you guys are using!

Go with a fuel controller or flash to smooth it out, I adjusted my rear brake too, it was just a small tweak but it made a big difference in feel, the suspension, I softened the preload a bit and it helped with the harsh hits
