It made a HUGE difference in the driveability. Keeping the chain on the tighter side also helps. I really don't understand why so many jump to a programmer before fixing the mechanical issues first.
Because of the internet's corporate personality. Last motorcycle forum I was on everyone yanked the cats, baffles, etc.. to make the bikes "breathe better" and get "better" performance which meant that programmers had to be installed to change the fuel ratio. Everyone imagines that they themselves are smarter than the engineers who designed the bikes.
I'm not a person who jacks up his 4x4, make modifications to motorcycles, or much of anything to things I buy. Don't have the money to spend and since I research my purchases I buy what I need. I don't buy a Honda Ruckus to make into a cruiser. All that said, I understand that I'm a boring guy and that the new world wasn't discovered by my kind of guys. So to each their own.
right there with ya brother!
