To me if they were open about the issues and fixes that shows me they are a company that care and are willing to listen to their customers and act on it.
U will not get a straightforward answer...! They even waffle to dealerships believe me....!
I know and its ridiculous.
Hey I totally understand and share your feelings, but I also understand how corporate bullshit politics and attitude toward such things works, they will fix things but the last thing they will do they admit that smith was wrong.
All this about being unable to reverse the flash once installed doesn't ring true...surely it will be held on their database, it's only a bit of computer software...isn't it?
Mak I have a friend who is going into Raceways Thursday at 10 am (Gareth Parkinson) He is going to test ride the MT09 with the new mapping. If you are free, you may want to pop in and have a play.
Ask your dealer to contact Yamaha and request it.
A speedo healer might help if you want to increase the accuracy.Been reading this trhead with interest. Its a line I have been thinking about a great deal. Nice to see there is a healthy amount of discussion/argument/disagreement/issues etc. Good to see what looks like an argument generating into healthy debate! Im going down the suspension route first. Ive ordered Ohlins rear shock [500] and fork springs [90] from FTR suited for my bodyweight [fat bsatard !] to be fitted in the next couple of weeks when the arrive and I can get over to Bury St. Edmonds. [I prefer my bike to handle first, go faster second !] At the moment, I do have issues with the off/on throttle but I am getting to learn my way round it. [using 3rd rather than 2nd out of roundabouts/corners and letting the torque do the work. Ill let you guys do the groundwork. Im not going to go the Yammy reflash route or the other reflash routes. Well not yet !
TT. One question. My old Thundercat had a front wheel driven speedo. Not having looked, does the 09 have a gear driven speedo drive ? Can the reflash make the speedo read more accurately ?
Tell them to pull their fingers out and contact Raceways of Fleetwood on 01253 872 037. They have fitted their demo with the new mapping and feedback has been positive.
Feedback from the mechanics is good-they like it. I have monitered other MT09 sites from Italy. U.S. Australia and netherlands...all report positive feedback. I am now waiting for my friend to finish his test ride of the demo who is a good fast competent rider....will update asp. Mine is booked in for Tues 11am if you can get round for a brew!
Will pass that on thanks.
This mapping is available world-wide and is yours...all under warranty...how you motivate your dealer to request it from Yamaha is up to you!
Another good report from a friend of mine who had his mapping done at Raceways...he loves it.....I'm sold. Over and out!
Dammit I want a go in one [emoji22]
Just wandering whether or not to keep the throttle tamer on...super smooth....might have to have a play...try both.!
