[QUOTE="Warpdrv, post: 1300836, member: 941"] Congrats RR19.... FZ-07 is a nice little bike, still need to get a test ride one of these days.... I've slowly but surely been working on and getting my FZ-09 ready for track days. Threw a bunch of greenbacks at it already. The FZ-09 is much better with an ECU Flash from a reputable programmer - its a night and day difference.... out of the factory its a very snatchy throttle, especially in A-Mode... Kinda like back in the day with those Seca 650 turbos when the turbo boost kicked in. Seriously nerve racking and scary. Dumbed down in B or STD mode its not nearly as bad, but certainly not right from the factory IMO... After having mine reworked its a very smooth controlled input in all modes. I don't feel like in A-Mode. that when I'm at the apex of a turn, rolling on throttle that the rear wheel is going to break loose from the jumpy input. As far as the suspension on the FZ-09 its crap from the get go - made for little asian guys weighing in as 150lbs... not sure they even make those in the United States of Bacon.... Lots of fixes avail in many price ranges to get that dialed in... Was at a few dealers out and about yesterday looking for a starter bike for the Niece, she seems to find the CBR500R pleasing to her eyes. But whilst we were at the Yamaha Dealer, saw a 2016 FJR and one of these things... XSR900 [IMG]https://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d109/Warpdrv/Bikes/0405161517_zpswzvtyxtf.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
