Flash or no flash might as well be another oil thread. I, speaking for myself only, still must kind of suck at riding after 30 years and multiple motorcycles. I must suck the most at FI bikes because I've ridden a 2017 FZ-09, a 2016 Ducati Diavel, a 2017 BMW S1000XR, a 2019 Honda GoldWing, a 2018 BMW K1600GT, a 2004 VStrom 1000, a 2016 Vstrom 1000 and none, not one of these bikes threw an achor in the pavement like my 2017 Tenere in Sport mode, when you let off the throttle. (K1600GT and Goldwing were long demo rides. Others were friends bikes that i had at least an hour in the saddle) None of these bikes rocked like a bucking Bronco when going over bumps in any of their modes at any low speed. I, again, speaking for myself, can and will modulate a clutch lever when necessary, not constantly. Again, I have no riding or clutch skills and I took the easy way out of riding a great stock motorcycle and made it better, for me, by flashing. Again, i will offer anyone in the area that would like to try a Flashed Tenere, while I ride your Tenere. Nothing to lose or everything to gain?
I just came back from vacations 1 year apart, and rode the same roads. Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway. Last year, no flash, tour mode only because didn't flash yet. 1 year later, same roads, flash, sport mode and ............what you think?
Oh and I run overpriced Yamalube 15w-50 full synthetic with Ester. Because it works better, for me. What is Ester anyway? Ooooooo, new thread? Hahaha.
Enjoy the ride everyone.
