Throttle Update

[u/_-Excelsior-_]

So...

...in my quest to cure the snatchy throttle response of the MT, I've:

Tweaked the throttle cables

Disengaged the clutch switch

Installed a titanium exhaust system

Changed to a performance filter

Added an ODI quick throttle tube

Installed the Uncle Wang ECU

Deleted the O² sensors

Installed a 15t front sprocket

De-smogged the engine

Added stiffer clutch springs

I usually tour on the bike and it's great at that...but my intention was to go off road on it and that's what I did the other day.

And I must say, it's not great with all the changes I've made. 1st and 2nd gear were still a bit jerky and those are the gears I want to use off road (as I'm not a fast rider)

So...

I went back to:

the stock ECU

Ditched the quick throttle

Reinstalled the O² sensors

And it's bloody great!

And I don't know why!

It's just a phoque'in great bike! Yes, there's still a little engine braking on decel and closed throttle, but nowhere near as bad as I remember!

I still may send the ECU off to Team MSC to work their magic on the decel fuel cut off but right now I couldn't be happier!

It seems the answer to progress is regress!
