Probably the only thing I don't like about the SCR ... well, aside from me being a 6'2" dude riding a small frame bike again, something Yamaha isn't at fault for ... is the throttle response at low speeds. It seems to be more of an on/off type of thing. Jerky, right when that's the last thing you want.
A few years back, I had the same issue with my BMW R1100GS. So I tried something called a Boosterplug. Worked like a champ. It fools the ECU into thinking it's much cooler than it really is, so the stock software gives it a tad more fuel. Takes the "lean" out, if you will. Really smoothed out the low speed throttle response, which on that big bike in the woods was key.
So, I just ordered one for the SCR. Hopefully it will do the same thing. Stay tuned.
Oh, and yea, I know I could have done the new intake/Ivan thing ... but for now I kinda wanna keep it stock as far as in-and-out. And I'm not looking for increased power. Just smoother roll on and off of power. Crossing things ...
