Just brought this one home 2 weeks ago. A 2012 Gen 2 with Scorpion slip-on and Renthal bars and only about 3500 miles when purchased. Enjoying the crap out of it thus far. Never owned a Yamaha street bike before nor a 4 and this one's a gem certainly.
Couple quick questions.
1) Previous owner did not map the Scorpion but he did gut the airbox or something of that sort. I'll try to dig more and find out exactly what he did. But anyhow, the bike runs fabulously well most of the time and makes some nice noise, but the noise (even with db killer in) starts to wear a small bit on me after about 200 miles. And too, as with most untuned slip-ons I've ever had it has that uneven idle and is a slight bit jerky at low speeds. It's nothing that bothersome and I know most folks would tell me to get a pc or something of that sort but honestly, and don't shame me for this, I am considering just putting the stock muffler back on it but I'm unsure how it would do with his airbox mod?
2) Also, where is the best place to get a longer brake line for the bike?
