I come from an older Honda Transalp this spring, the Transalp had no injection, no ride by wire, really basic. And even that it was from 2006 the engine was almost the same from the late 80'. (yes it grow from 600 ccm to 650)
Anyway, I dont have any problem driving on the new 2017 S10.
There was a litte thing i noticed the first time I really turnded the throttle all the way, there was a small "gap" in power delivery, but it might have been the TCS, because of lifting the front wheel. But I never found out for sure, because I was sure I had the TCS turned off, on time and I still felt it... I tried onlce to give full trotttle, after this, and there was nothing, so I just don't give it any thoughts now. (yes, I drive very much like an old man
)
But my dealer also told me, that at least the european 2017 model have a different mapping, because of EURO4.
There is one thing however, that the S10 still do. When starting up from cold, I have to be very slow with the trottle (not turn the trottle fast), if I do that, the engine will not go up in rpm, but sounds like it get to little gasoline, or maybe to much. If I continue to do this, the engine will stall, and have a little problem starting again, have to run much more with starter, and give trottle, for kicking it back to live.
My S10 have now 5000 km (3125 miles) on the ODO.
