Some riders don't seem to be bothered by sudden throttle response when re-opening the throttle although I can't imagine that a serious twisty rider or track rider would feel that way. It can be a bit unnerving to twist the throttle very gently and get a disproportionate torque effect at the rear...

I can tell you that with routine intake and exhaust mods, remapped PC III, and a 16 tooth sprocket, my `07 shows absolutely no "lack of response" at low RPM. Indeed, I don't need any more engine response. However, it is an inline four (not a V-twin) and must be...
Yes, perhaps a good map "should" work well in all of them. But they don't work well in all of them. Production variations have a way of adding up to a mechanical Bell Curve with most running well, a few running exceptionally well, and a few running poorly. It's a well understood statistical...
Good show Sid...
Yep--I installed mine with very deliberate actions (cutting into wiring harnesses makes me that way). I also thought the supplied crimping tool sucked so I carefully micro-soldered mine. That was 2 years ago with no problems at all to date and...it works perfectly as advertised...
Hi Joe, and welcome.
I just dropped in to say that the advice in this thread is spot-on, good medicine. Pick the one you like to look at and listen to `cause performance will be very close among them all. Also, "loud" can be cool or obnoxious...depending upon how, when, and where you modulate...
I think it depends on how you ride, how sensitive you are, and what you want/expect in terms of throttle response.
My `07 was transformed by Ivan's FCE (and other mods) but...I ONLY ride twisties where any throttle-snatch becomes readily apparent in mid-turn. When leaned-over near the...
