From the first article..............."Fully adjustable KYB suspension".......What bike did he get? Last I heard it was a partially adjustable suspension...no compression damping.

not all journalists pay super attention to detail. more than one article has mentioned the 09's 'naturally uneven firing order'.

They probably flashed the ECU for the San Francisco launch.

Sounds like everyone is loving the motor. :triumphant: I want more reviews!! One little First Ride Report at a time is killing me. :violent1:

 

[triplethreat]

I'm dying to see the ride report from Sport Rider magazine....they'll wring it out for sure

 

[DNFDOUG]

I am hoping that they rode a revised fuel map version.

I am hoping that they rode a revised fuel map version.

fuel maps between european and american ecu's are usually different.

+1 I hope Yamaha used the response from the Euro testers and fixed some of the throttle jerkiness.

I'm glad to hear he said the fueling is spot on, sounds better than some of the european tests that said it is snatchy off idle........ I am going to the Aimexpo in Orlando Oct. 19 and 20th. I know Yamaha is doing test rides and I Pray they will have FZ-09's to ride. I will post a review if I get to ride one.......:encouragement:
