Same here. The 2017 is way better than my 2012 was. Still not perfect, but nothing that concerns me in the least. As to the stalling some have had, I've never had that problem either.Sierra1 said:I just recalibrated my right hand. Worked like a charm! Throttle is now perfect. ::012::
I agree with this 100%! No matter what bike I've had.....People always complain about how it rides.....I've always adjusted myself to the bike. After a quick adjustment....NO problem. No 2 bike models are the same! People always trying to make it like their last bike....Sierra1 said:I just recalibrated my right hand. Worked like a charm! Throttle is now perfect. ::012::
I've had both gens. Both were vastly improved by the flash I had done by Anthony. It's not a mystery. He is simply adjusting the fueling to work better. And work better it does. If you rode both versions back to back there would be no question in your mind which is better. Having said that, it's your bike. If you are satisfied with the way it is then you've saved some money.RonH said:Same here. The 2017 is way better than my 2012 was. Still not perfect, but nothing that concerns me in the least.

I remember when the 2014s came out, and everyone was so thrilled how much better the fueling was, and virtually no one thought an ECU flash was worth doing. Suddenly what was once considered really good was complained of by many, most which never had the older model, not that it matters. Now nothing but complaints. Just ride and enjoy.
Because the clutch fuse mod alters the timing with no regard to load. It ends up advancing the timing waaaaaay too far in some conditions and is.... less than optimal. Does it impact the feel of the bike? Absolutely. Does it work for peeps that don't go WOT all the time and tend to tour more than flog the twisties, well, sort of. Is it kind to the engine? Err, not really. Does it do damage? It may, especially for those that flog the bike at WOT a lot. Double especially for hot climates. Can I document that potential damage? No, but I rather think someone eventually will.Curt said:Oops, how could this thread go so long without mention of the clutch fuse mod?
It turns out that the way over advanced timing shown in the neutral map in the flash-tune software for the 2012-2013 bikes is likely an error in the interpretation of the mapping data when the ECU was analyzed.EricV said:Because the clutch fuse mod alters the timing with no regard to load.
