I got my new 2013 R3T carryover at the end of last season. Only manage about 1700 miles on the beast as we had an early winter here in Michigan. I have around 5000 miles on it so far, but I also bought an extended/aftermarket warranty for 6 years. From the dealer. I have everything ready including a Lonetec Cable, TuneECU, all my drivers on my laptop are setup, but it's a dilemma....flash or not to flash. The bike is still stock and I don't plan on any major changes at this point. I have to say.... I don't know why we want more power and the best performance possible, but we do. It's not like I'm racing people all the time, so what am I going to do with the added performance except smile more. I'm old, so that will just add more lines to my face. The bike performs well as is and certainly meets my riding needs, but the thought of making it better and faster is hard to ignore. For now I guess I'll just stand pat...maybe next year or after the first tire change. I will say, I had a issue early on with the GPS (Gear Position Sensor)...I think I'll resist the temptation a little while longer making sure another bug doesn't crop up. Knowing I can change it up anytime I want to will have to do for now. With all that said, I will be waiting to hear more about yours when you flash it!
