Yes indeed. That's basically it - tires and p&g. Tires are at 55/50 f/r (51 psi rated). The back end gets a little squirrelly any higher than that.

Full on p&g for hours, including the AC.

clutch in
select 5th gear
clutch out, then back in
clutch out gently into gear
Pulse
while pulsing, turn on AC button
clutch in, shift to neutral, clutch out
key off
key on
turn off AC for glide (draws big battery power if left on)
wait..............
repeat

Now I'm tired.
