Just did 1500 miles on SH, elevation from sea level to 7000 feet
Hi All,
I'm just psyched that the SH handled elevation so well. Spent the last 6 days on her, rode from San Diego to Laughlin for the River Run, by way of Phoenix > Sedona > Flagstaff > Grand Canyon > Route 66. Ran like a champ although idle got a little rough above 5000 feet.

Well, the answer to your rough idle problem, of course.
Whenever I have a rough idle at certain elevations, I usually just use the cruise control and lock the throttle at 100%, so the engine is bouncing off the rev limiter. Then I just use the brakes to control my speed.
I hope you know we are just messin' with ya. I'm not even sure if this bike has a rev limiter.
I have been to those areas as well, but not on a bike. I would LOVE to cruise around Sadona on my Superhawk!
EDIT: It appears VTR1000F replied a second before me.
