the power is so much better.... more all over, i have disconected the 2nd and 3rd gear restrictor too... loads more power all over. the only trouble is, now i have changed the pipe, it stall sometimes, never did before, a fueling problem i guess. the FMF looks nice would be interested to see it.

Still getting the stalling problems then, How often? Duke actually looks pretty trick in red, wonder what colours the 09's will come in.

Default Any Update on the Factory Re-Mapping?

I am very interested in this. I would love to have my 690 Duke run well at lower RPMs! I'm glad the factory is listening and making some changes. Any word on when this update will be ready?
