It's the old red / blue dilemma

It is flawless. I've no issues.

[MOzZereLLa]

So far!!!

Any whispers on a brand new blade for 16??

Is it true that you've already swapped it for a BMW................?

[David W]

I don't get how a company like Yamaha produce a bike that is anything but flawless...it's not as if it's a new venture...I have some issues with my BMW S1000r that quite simply shouldn't be there...it's just not good enough...I expect better from these brands.

You'd be surprised how small the development teams are.  They'll knowingly release their product with as few bugs as possible but there will be things that are just accepted as for the 'to do' list.

It is flawless. I've no issues.

And I hope it remains that way.

No I'm not a fat Irish prima donna... It's plenty fast enough for me.

Had my first service earlier - it's got a fair kick up top, maybe not as pronounced as the S1000 but it's pulling harder at 7000rpm anyway.

[MOzZereLLa]

I might have had a few excursions to 7k and one necessity to about 8.5k during an overtake today. I'm very much looking forward to my first service. Next Saturday am. Have 425 miles on the clock now and I'm out tomorrow am too

Is it restricted?

[MOzZereLLa]

Yes. In sixth gear only at either 10 or 12k rpm - not something that a road rider worries about.

A reflash sorts that out.

[Alzo]

The S1000r was restricted to 9k in every gear until the techs free it at the 600 mile service.

Bet that's annoying as hell but its not a bad idea

Strangely it showed you barely need much more on the road...still made good progress...but the first time I was able to give it full revs in second gear I almost filled my nappy....bloody quick...and my brain still hadn't got up to speed.

[MOzZereLLa]

Ahh I see - restricted for running in. No, it's not.

BMW love that shit. The V8 M3 when it came out had very strict running in limits that the ECU told the techs the max revs you had used. If you exceeded them, your warranty was invalidated (I was told).
