You are right, I do change the gears in city commute on pretty low revs as there is abundant torque already starting at 2000 rpm, so I guess I change the gears around 3200 rpm or so and I do not see a need to ride on high revs while there is no need for that. But I also had the engine braking...

Well I thought the same until I rode with my wife as a pillion and she collapsed into my back every time I changed the gear in lower gears, also whlie trying to maintain a smooth ride in the slow moving traffic the bike was a bit too jerky. I can't say it was all unbearable, but annoying...

You ask about ECU flash or what? My bike is 2018. If you are happy how your bike behaves, then no flash is needed. I had all the same symptoms as others have reported: very heavy engine braking while off throttle making the gear changes in lower gears very snatchy, the same for riding on low...

Had the local Yammie dealer install the steel braided brake lines and a bigger clutch slave cylinder, both bought from Off-the-Road site. However, the first ride home I did not notice much of the difference from the stock. The traffic was busy and I had no opportunity to try an emergency...

Last time I read the news Ukraine was in a bloody war ?!

Just recently I was in the same boat as OP in the sense that I was also looking to swap my S10 for something more exciting. However, after doing many test rides on a number of alternatives I have come to a conclusion that there is no other bike that would be as comfortable for my body in long...

I did a half a day test ride on Versys 1000 S last fall. It is a very nice bike, from ergos and ride comfort point of view very similar to S10, the wind protection is very good. The engine is sweet, I adore its sound, much better than ST, and abundant power/torque for my needs. The really only...

Thanks a lot for many comments. It looks like I have developed a rare and very sensitive feel to the secondary, high frequency vibrations of 3 and 4 cylinder engines which results in burning kind of feeling to my toes and palms on revs 5500 and above, that what I describe as buzz. I had the same...

I have had my ST for last 5 years and as it has turned out, I never really have got to gravel, not even talking about off-road tracks. That has made me think that perhaps I should better change to a bike with 17 inch front wheel and non-spoke rims. I have been long looking at Tracr 9GT and its...

Great, thank you very much!

Thanks a lot for a fast reply. So, if I go the PV3 route, I have few more questions: 1. I have 2018 European ZE version. The EU tune files that are available here on this site are one for Arrows headers and another for Akrapovich silencer, but I have a full stock bike. Where can I get a file...

I am also considering the flash option. I have some questions though. 1. I understand that Power Core runs only on Windows. Is Power Core used only for manipulating the maps or is it also needed for loading maps on PV3 without manipulation? I have a Mac computer. Can maps be loaded on Power...

That was a wise choice of roads indeed. There are also many nice roads at the coastline east of Tallinn.

@Jiivee Next time you are planning to come over here, let me know, we could do some biking together. I live in Tallinn and know few mc friendly roads around that are somewhat more exciting than the borig motorway to Pärnu...

We travelled in the area with my wife last summer, very nice places indeed. We spent a night at a hotel near Kerimäki and there were WW2 trenches still in the backyard of the hotel. Russians never reached those though, but were not far. Now that Russia is again militarily active it was sort of a...
