Hello All,
Just bought a 2021 R LE manual off the showroom floor at the local dealer. Found this forum and thought I would join. Trying to get through the break-in period, just hoping the weather co-operates.

Welcome. Enjoy your new ride that will get plenty of attention. Avoid riding in rain when possible. They can hydro plane easily.

Turning the nannies off will help when riding in standing water. Even that with 130,000 miles never doing a hydro spin out I spun out twice within 100 feet in running water on the highway this past summer coming home from SSITS. The best way to describe it is the whole Sling was floating but I had plenty of highway. All that I could do was hit the brakes while floating until we stopped.

I did the hydro thing leaving SSIS also. Not the first time and probably not the last. We should exercise caution with new owners.
