Yup. To ME, she's lethargic in "T". And, on meth in "S".....It's also easier to accelerate from a stop without stalling (from poor clutch use) in sport mode. I think I remember you mentioning this a few threads back.

You can usually tell if it has been flashed by what temperature the fan activates at-I don’t know about Canadian bikes but someone on here could tell you.Its just personal taste and /or farkling desire.
Some people will investigate the details and stick on some ...they’re trying to get their bike feel the way THEY want it. Its personnal.
They feel it. If they have the $ . Go!
Maybe if you’re riding since 30 years and have Owned like 50 different bikes you’re more in the details. Personnaly , its my third one and I love it! The more I ride it the more I appreciate.
And the more I appreciate it off-road too. Didn’t feel it twichy or anything...
If I was more fortunate man I’ll put a complete exhaust system, map ecu, bla bla bla...But for now the bike is a damn good performer!
Run the thing in S and TC most of the time 2 and Off . Sound good when I pass 5000rpm. Not scary in gravel. It just grab and go. Pretty impressive bike . For now that’s a keeper.
Maybe mine was flash...? don’t know!
It has the Uni filter pods and that add a little more sound down under the tank!
GEN 1 or GEN 2 ?After you get a flash. You will wish you had done it sooner.
Yeah who has a flashed 2nd gen tester I can rent for an hour?The issue is not anywhere near as noticeable when riding off road, at least not for me.
My previous 13 had the twitchy throttle issue but it seems even more noticeable on my new 18.
Is it a deal breaker no but it is annoying sometimes.
Slow speeds in town is where I notice it the most.
I read about lots of folks claiming having the ECM flashed was the best thing they ever did, I would love to take one of these supposedly greatly improved Tenere’s for a test ride and decide for myself if I’d like to have mine flashed.
But either way I’m pretty well satisfied with my Tenere.
I just don’t want to F up my warranty.After you get a flash. You will wish you had done it sooner.
Did you buy brand new or second owner? I find that it rides ok in oem, but when reflashed it is much better, not a sports bike but more capable.This fueling thing that lots of forum members are talking about puzzles the heck out of me? The OEM factory mapping is spot on and I can adjust the performance and throttling with proper gear selection and clutch use. I'm at the point that I can get the bike to run perfectly smooth with no lurching just below walking pace (in a straight line). I'm still struggling with lock to lock turning at slow speeds. But I'm of the opinion that is 100% rider issues.
Does anyone practice clutch use anymore? I know when I take my dirt bike in the mountains I never bother to re-jet. I just ride the thing. Sure it burbles a little bit, and can stall if I chop the throttle. With good throttle and clutch control I can have a pleasant trail ride.
The Super Tenere adjusts for elevation and is one of the most perfect fuel injected bikes I have ever ridden. I have also heard that the first three gears are limited. I have not experienced this. In sport mode the front wheel will loft up and motor will scream in 1st - 3rd. It idles at around 1000-1100 RPM and there is zero surge at any throttle setting. Did I happen to get one of the good bikes? Or is the CA model tuned better than the rest of the countries bikes?

I’ve not heard of there ever being a denied claim due to flash and doubt a dealer either cares or has the equipment to detect any changes.I just don’t want to F up my warranty.
