I would guess the extreme heat plays into the abbrations. Wearing three layers of shorts seems to help. About 7 years ago I did a run thru SLC where I'm at now and on to WY. Same thing happened so when I returned I had a layer of foam put on to the saddle. Hail at Pikes Peak, lightning...

thanks for the suggestions. yes pikes peak is in colorado springs and you just follow the signs like the other poster said. the road is very nice. It hailed on us at the races Sunday. My 2004 has adjustable seat height? this is news to me.

Bike wouldn't start today after a few long attempts with a strong battery, and what I would call a normal starter rpm. I had it on a battery tender. I will say I have noticed my bike can be starter rpm sensitive, usually after sitting for a few weeks. Won't always fire even with I would say...
