Man, I sure feel your frustration! As much as I hate to say this; try to give them a chance to figure it all out. They don't make tires, and probably sub- out the hub manufacure as well. I've seen mention of sticking parts in the clutch...(Look at some of the previous posts here) Extra load on the motor if something is hanging up might make it try to raise RPMs maybe... (I am NOT a mechanic!!!
)
Pleasee don't give up too quickly... my son is shopping for an RS in Florida and will no doubt get a bike with levers on the left... I did see for 2011 that they changed some stuff in the RS models to quell vibrations; ask you dealer if perhaps a trofit is in order???
Good luck, and please keep us posted!
