Hi Red Mist
All I can say is my bike whilst smooth overall did have some hesitation at low speed especially in low gears. It also had a slight hesitation and stutter in 5th at around 2000 revs on a light throttle. This behaviour is similar to several bikes I have had in recent years all put down to fuel mapping by various dealer technicians when I queried or asked for a fix.
A Power Commander fixed it each time. The worst were a Yamaha FZ6 and a Vstar 1300.
The CB whilst being the best out of the box bike I have had . It still had issues that were easily addressed.
Note my bike is 2011 and Aussie spec. There may be differences in tune for each market as emissions standards vary widely between countries and in some countries like the US I believe even between states.
Even without a PCV I could have lived very happily with the bike but after reading various posts on this forum and having previous good experiences with the technology it was a low risk spend of time and money.
Unfortunately I have recently retired from the car company I worked for and no longer have the luxury of free technical support and an emissions lab with a dyno to use after work.
Seat of the pants testing is now all I can give you. So far so good.
