I find that as well - there's an awful lot to take in in a short space of time.
Went for a ride this morning, and it was showers, overcast, generally pretty horrible - couldn't see all that well, and didn't pick up the hump on the blind right hander just after a left hander. Got very close to crossing the double white on the bend
as I tried to lose speed without upsetting the balance ![eek2.gif](https://www.s2ki.com/forums/images/smilies/eek2.gif)
Just made it.
Rear end keeps feeling like it is moving around periodically on certain surfaces in crap weather (bit like the S
) so you never know whether you are close to the grip limits or not.
Wet roads themselves I'm not too bothered by - it's the not being able to see properly that makes it difficult to see all the info available.
Every ride is a learning experience for me - as long as I get home safely, I must have learnt something.

I used to use cheap, wax furniture polish but now mostly use Plexus.
Rain X also works.

Do you put anything on your visor to clear the rain?

Is Plexus OK for plastics?

I've heard folk say that you get the same smearing problems on visors with Rain X, but then like the S it maybe depends on how well iut's applied. Rain Wizard (similar) which I used on the S works fine if applied properly.
I'll give Plexus a go though Steven

Plexus is a plastic polish.
If you use it on your visor you will find that the rain quickly runs off and it stays clear. The faster you go the quicker it clears![biggrin.gif](https://www.s2ki.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
