Well guys, I got my spotless '16 ES with 7500 miles on it home to Missouri from Pennsylvania on Sunday morning at 4am. Waynesburg Yamaha in Waynesburg, PA was terrific to work with Saturday morning. They had it all serviced (including spoke torque) and shined and waiting on me when we got there, and we were in and out of there in about an hour.
I absolutely LOVE the bike. A sluggish throttle is the last thing to worry about on this bike. In fact, even in tour mode it's quite twitchy. I'm having to get used to it, and the engine braking is lots more than I've been used to, but I'm learning it's habits quickly. For now, I don't think I'm going to mess with the ECU.
Have any of you ever put a G2 Throttle Tamer on an S10? Their ads make it look like a sound approach to taking some of the twitch out of it.
I've only put about 250 miles on it so far, so I haven't riden it nearly enough to develop muscle memory for it, and to become used to the fuel injection vs. the carburetors on my old Concours.
I've got a boatload of farkles on order for it and am looking forward to making it MINE.
P.S.: Banderboy, I checked the tire pressure. Front was right on the money, but back only had about 18 psi in it. Thanks for the advice!
