I would set your gearing as high as possible to reduce buzz for the trip, every ounce of added comfort helps.
I'm not "official" but I've done multiple 1000+ mile days on larger bikes. June is ideal for the long days as mentioned. I would want a fuel can I think with the rx3s range you'll be stopping a lot. |

Of course you realize we are expecting copious photographs of the unboxing, et cetera.

Suspension travel
OK, I have looked high and low but cannot find the OEM claimed suspension travel for the 2016 RX3. I'm most interested in the rear travel so I can work on getting the sag to 30% but it would be useful to have the front travel as well.
So far I have worked to dial in the Progressive Suspension shock but have not gotten much sag. I intend to totally back off on the preload just to see what the max sag might be via preload. If that's not enough I think I need a softer spring. But, first, I need to know what the total travel is on the rear. Any info most appreciated. Peter Y. |

Congrats!
 Now for the longest week of waiting in your life. At least that's what I felt like last week waiting on my bike to arrive. |
