[QUOTE="GhidorahX, post: 1265390, member: 86815"] Thanks for the tips gents . . . but I'm like a "Randy Mamola" type rider, having a "plan" and "riding the plan" doesn't work for me . . . I'm all over the place, late-braking, late apexing, early braking, early apexing . . . on the gas, off the gas, looking around at the scenary instead of watching out for bicyclists hanging out in my lane in the middle of a blind corner . . . not paying attention to the machine and its "needs" . . . oh, also, trailing the rear brake, and, um, not trailing the rear brake . . . like Randy used to do . . . . : - ) Anyway, considering that a fair number of posters here have recommended the PC-V as the #1 choice, that is an indication that Yammie doesn't have the FI dialed in very well. I am interested to see if I can find a competent mechanic in west-side of LA that could dial in the throttle bodies very accurately; however, I had a Throttle rocker around from when I had rented the very consummately smooth and quick Konk14 a couple years back, and I put it on the 09er and did my tight switchback ride today . . . and perhaps because my wrist was lazily keeping some gas on even when I backed off . . . the problem (the extreme throttle jerkiness of it all) was much less intrusive to the ride . . . . Possibly the machine is starting to figure out what my needs are, rather than vice versa . . . when it's good, it is very good. Gx [/QUOTE]
