I've searched and gotten inconsistent information. I'd like to know what changes, if any, have occurred between the 2010 and 2011 model years.

1) Center stand susceptibility to being pushed down with your left foot while riding.

2) ABS control

3) Fueling issues

4) Rear brake

5) Luggage sealing

Any other areas of change would be of great interest.

I just sat on a 2011 Touring, and the center stand still seemed to get in the way of my left foot quite a bit.

Many thanks.

Just saw your post today. You hit the main ones. -I think- there was also an upgrade for the kill buttons on the R handlebar due to some of them draining the batteries, as well as an upgrade to the hands free software and steering locks. I'm sure these upgrades were incorporated in the 2011 bikes.

I've not seen a centestand on a 2011 bike, but others have mentioned that they look the same as those on 2010 bikes. Most folks just fix this themselves by shortening the arm so it doesn't interfere with their boot while riding.
