I went to this at the Dayton Air Show and you could only ride the bikes in the parking lot, not on the street.  Max was about 20 miles per hour.  Pretty disappointing to have demo rides advertised but only be able to ride in the parking lot.

 I got to ride the DRZ400SM and  the GSXS1000.  Both were fun.  The GSXS has the most twitchy throttle of any bike that I gave ever ridden, but it is a lot of fun.  It would benefit from an ECU reflash or a power commander.  I can see adding a 1000cc naked to the garage. 

IP, sorry again about the wheelies.  They were not intentional.

 I was the one who talked to you right after your ride.  I had no idea that you were one of the OR peeps.  I rode the same bike right after you.  They need to take some slack out of the throttle cable.  There was a dead zone and then the power would come on.  I didn't have any issues keeping the front tire down but I didn't whiskey throttle past the dead spot.    :lol:   I'm Just busting your chops.   

I wanted to see if they updated the fueling.  It was much better down low at parking lot speeds but it had some RPM jitter at 4500 rpm under light loads that mine doesn't have.   I think that a power commander or ECU reflash is next for me.

I felt bad that I put them in an awkward position,  but I wasn't hot dogging it.   I had complete control of the bike the entire time.  As soon as it started power wheeling,  I eased off the throttle.

 I have considering an FZ10 for a little while,  but I hadn't ridden a naked bike before today.  After today,  I am even more interested in a naked liter bike. I was concerned with the wind on a naked bike,  but it wasn't bad.   I just want cruise control, so the FZ10 is looking interesting.

@Wojo72 I am guessing you already checked the TPS thingy. Many guys reported better fueling once that was realigned. 

I checked it with dealer mode  and the indicator on the dash.  I didn't check it with a harness and voltemeter so it could still be a bit off.
