I have a 10SP fantastic bike, there are some mods that make it much better, an ecu flash with woolich software works really well, there's postal maps available where you send off your ECU or better still a custom map, fueling is lean as standard so this will be corrected, fuel cut will be switched off, cures the snatchy throttle, fan temp lowered. and one of the main things is the ETV electronic throttle valve, this can be refined which smooths the throttle... I run mine in power 2 as 1 is still a bit abrupt but pwr2 is virtually the same, it'll let you wheelie as far as you like if thas your thing. you don't need to change the cat box but many do, I have Leo Vince de cat which is quieter than a straight through, it's pretty quiet round town and just about right (for me) when opening it up..
Don't worry too much about fuel, it's not that bad, they are 150+hp superbike engine with s 17 litre tank, I''ve had 171miles to a tank on a long run, set it in pwr3 tc3 and cruise where possible. I know i can easy do 150miles which is enough for a leg stretch stop.. I have the Yam comfort seat which is about and inch higher, take a few rides to break in but i've done 480 miles in a day on it... Thrash the bike about though and the fuel consumption plummets but who cares then you'll be having too much fun

I'm not a big fan of the electronic suspension, I don't think it reacts quick enough, I set my manual modes, started with M1 and M2 copying A1 and A2, I then tweaked from there. M3 is flat across the board from the factory, I left this alone and use it when on the motorway, it's like comfot mode.

Sold! I'll take one!

Your write up has genuinely made me want one LOL

The accepted wisdom is you get worse reactions from AZ, for your first jab but you get a worse reaction from Pfizer on the second one. Got myself the second Pfizer coming up end April.

OK so far, no second head growing yet...

Not even a sore arm.

It's all going so

Thanks Popkat.

I've only just had a decent ride in the country today and was actually impressed with the fuel use, it got better the faster I went! Its crap around town though. I have started playing with the suspension in A2 mode, and eased off the front and rear compression a bit and added some rebound as it felt a little jolty on bumpy country roads. Also managed my first ever power wheelie, was remarkable serene and then I laughed my head off...

Does a reflash make the fuel rise? I have a great local tuner who is lined up to do the work for me soon.

Had a cracking day for my first good ride!
