In agreement totally Tony. I plan to ride through the winter and see how my riding style adapts. So far I have not had any experince of the "surge" issues, so it maybe that this has had some modifications done at dealer so far. For me the bike is just awesome, plenty quick enough. Awesome, confidence inspring handling etc. Just filled her up for the first time today.

Once march is here and the road conditions improve, then i will look at the Kev Mod if needed, and potentially a DNA filter.

Before then though I am looking for some handguards with air deflectors (let me know if you know of any), but more importantly a higher/touring screen. Does anyone else run a taller screen? any recommendations??
