Reply With QuoteThe vision of having to ride in such traffic for any length of time makes my heart hurt. But I wouldn't worry about excessive wear on this machine. If you actually follow the recommended maintenance intervals, you'll (it will) be fine.
Hello, I was always wondering, if I am forced to ride in walking-pace speeds in a traffic jam, or even have to move uphill at this speed, and if I have to do this often, e.g. few times a week while commuting, is it going to have an effect on wear of some components? I can imagine that clutch just keeps slipping because it is too slow to engage fully. Is there a technique how to ride at such slow speeds? Thanks

Thanks, good to know that I don’t have to worry about that.
Watch your temperature gauge, and use that space between the cars judiciously.
Split lanes if its legal in your state and if you feel comfortable doing so. I still do it a little, but never go more than 15 mph faster than the slow/stopped traffic-always seems to be some guy or gal who wants to hurt you since he/she is jealous.
Lane filtering is probably the only option, however not always possible.
I don’t think my bike has temperature gauge - is that something what is availlable on 650GT only, and not on 600Sport?
