I bought this bike in May,2005.
From the beginning it suffered from surging at low speed. During break in, the engine ran pretty warm.
After 6,000 km I switched to Kawi synthetic oil.
Hey - I know I will start a war here, but I stick to the Mfrs filters and oils - they are competitive, plus I keep all the receipts.
(I am a mechanic, so I do all the service / maintenace myself)
I realize these bikes with FI and the emissions, catalytic converter really hold this engine back - so I installed the Cobra 'True Duals' and the Techlusion module.
This bike is now TOTALLY different. It has a lot more response, great idle. The exhaust is not too loud at idle and cruising speed, and if you lean on the throttle, it has a real nice 'Holliwood Glass pack' exhaust note....plus they look beefy vs the tapered ends on the stock bike.
I would definitely recommend this combination !!
