I like the feel and handling of the E3 but I have a question.

Every bike I have ever had allowed me to get 12,000 to 14,000 on the rear tire. On the Ultra I have been fortunate to get 6,000. I have about 6,000 on an E3 and it won't make 2,000 more. I got 6,000 out of the stock tire and 5,000 with a Continental.

Is the extra weight causing my problem, or is there something else I need to be looking at? I keep an eye on the tire pressure and ride the same as always.

Or am I stuck with having to change the rear almost every time I do a service?
