Regarding the XTR snatchy fuelling issue:

I have recently returned to the fold with a 2006 XTR. In 2007, I owned a 2004 model. The 04's low speed fuelling was pretty horrible and probably the only thing to spoil an otherwise excellent bike. The 2006 bike is far better in this regard, although not perfect. I understand that Yamaha have improved the fuelling over the years and got it pretty much right from 2007 on (anyone confirm that?). My question is - if I can get hold of a good ECU from a later bike, would it be a straight swap for the 06 unit? And if so, why isn't everyone doing it?

Not an urgent question, as I am quite happy with the bike as it is, but improvements are always good, and having a 'spare' ECU for longer trips would be peace of mind too.
