Do you guys have shaft lube or gear oil or anything that can be changed?
Sludge would slow you down.
The good thing about those bikes is that even at a slightly slower speed, the weight of the bike makes the whole ride nice and comfortable.
The rear does use hypoid gear oil, but the bike only has 7,000 miles on it and the manual states the first check (to check the level) of that oil should be at 8,000 miles, so the oil should be good.
