Something Old, Something New

I got an S1000 XR last August.

Get the larger bar end weights, it will reduce the vibrations a little.

Another suggestions is $50 TPMS from Amazon: "SYKIK Rider SRTP300 Wireless tire Pressure Monitoring System for Motorcycles with 1.5” Monitor." It works pretty well.

Of course, I still have my RS, so we have a similar duo. It looks great. Enjoy.

I will consider the bar end weights if needed, but so far I have been on an almost 4 hour ride and have not had any hand tingling issues. Did you get these for the XR and if so which ones / what weight?

Thanks for the tip for the SYKIK TPMS system for motorcycles on Amazon. I suspect that it may not work with my r/angle valve stems though, since these are on the rim and not on the spoke like on the RS - might not be enough clearance for the sensors.

Yes we do have a similar choice of motos to ride, engine wise.

Yes, clearance for the sensor might indeed be a problem on the front wheel. Mine works fine but it has about zero clearance with the brake caliper. Here is a picture.
