@kevxtx thank for your usefull posts! I have a question, I hope you can answer!
My 09 is a 2017 Euro 4, I fitted the full arrow exhaust dekat and K&N air filter so I decided to flash the ecu. I live in Italy, Sicily, so the only way to have my ECU flashed is to send it to a guy in north Italy; I don't know which software he will use, I think FT.
My biggest problem with the bike is the jerky throttle response in std and A mode, while driving on a mountain road. Especially in 2nd gear, 30-40mph turns, at full lean while moving from off-throttle to maintenance throttle. This is why the last season I drove all the time on B mode, because it felt soo much smoother.
So with the guy we were talking about the options we can use, ie. soften the throttle map on std and A mode on small throttle opening (less than 15-20%) and deactivate the throttle cut on deceleration; however my doubt are on the o2 sensor.
As far as I know at small openings is working the closed loop, so leaving the o2 active may keep the lean mixture and jerky response (btw the oem B map for me it's ok!); BUT with the o2 disabled while cruising ie. on the highway I think the fuel mileage would decrease due to the richer fuel mixture of the open loop. So I cannot decide to leave it active or disable... also, is there a risk to have the engine warning light on with one of the two configurations??
