    Finally managed to get a decent couple of videos of the bike idling, I’ve never owned a bike that idles like this so not sure if it’s something to be concerned about?

    Full exhaust system, K&N filter & ECU tuned.

    Sounds pretty similar to mine... although it will depend on whether the engine is hot or just after cold starting...

    Gen-1 and Gen-2 are two totally different animals....nothing similar engine wise.

    When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather....not screaming like the passengers in his car..!
