Good luck man, and this is what the warranty is for.

Wow, what a difference!

Got the bike back. Turns out it was a pinched vacuum line. Dealer replaced said offending line under warranty as well as reflashing the ECM and resetting the TPS.

Night and day!

Engine is far smoother. I can run the tach as low as ~2800RPM and is still quite drivable.  Chain snatch is evident below that, but compared to before where I couldn't venture below 4K, it's great. Throttle blips between shifts are quicker & smoother as well--no more stumbling. Apart from the smoother operation of the gearbox (I'm attributing that to the 600mi oil change/service), fuel delivery coming on/off throttle is perfectly seamless. No more throttle snatch (think of a situation say, as you've made a right turn at an intersection and re-applying the throttle). Super smooth.  [thumbsup]

At this point, I really do not think I will be going w/ the Termi slip-ons/filter/ECM kit. Driveability is where I want it to be, and the sound that the OE exhaust makes, in terms of volume, I'm good. I still *may* do a sprocket change to further enhance drivability, and that G2 throttle cam thing, but this bike is plenty quick. Sport Rider magazine just arrived on Thursday: 10.89sec @ 119.9xMPH... That's good enough for me. :)

I think.  ;D

Glad you got it sorted.

I only put the 14T front sprocket on because 6th was pointless: ~80mph @ 4k RPM.

I agree with you on the stock exhaust.

Yep glad you like it. The G2 will make it even better. As for the termis, they are music to my ears.
