I have to agree with Joemv2011, I went from a M50 to a Stryker which the M50 is realitively the same as a C50. The Stryker is heavier and the turning is much different. The Stryker is meant to be ridden like you stole it in my opinion. The road imprint of the Stryker while a bigger bike feels smaller then the C50/M50 because it is stretched out more so balancing on start of for me was a little issue at first. Gears 1 and 2 like he said can be a little fineky and just takes time to get a rythm/pattern in using the clutch and throttle. I assume it's new, you will probably have to adjust your clutch and throttle, my clutch wouldn't completely return after pulling it in a simple adjustment on the bars did the trick and the throttle started to have some play in it as well again a simple adjustment on the bars. All stuff you should check after riding a bit anyway since everything tends to work it self in. Check your radiator cover bolts, mine loosened up after a bit and I just took them out and tossed some loctite on them.joemv2011 said:
My first long ride without a windshield was on a windy day my head was dancing also I have broad shoulders no fun there. but no need to think cause you are in love. enjoy and welcomered said:Thanks everyone. We brought her home last night. It was an adventure - 30mph winds, gusts of 40 with no windshield, 50 miles from dealership to the house. My neck muscles were so sore when I got home. But I think I'm in love.
There is a big difference in weight - it's an adventure getting her up off the kickstand. The turns were definitely different. And the gear ratio will take some getting used to. It was so windy yesterday that I could barely hear the engine over the roar of the wind in my ears. But I really do think I'm in love.
Maybe Sue is a lady ???Nogard said:
