Hey Derek - a number of us are within 30 minutes of Worcester. Not too many twisties in Worcester...I have a couple of nice sets of them from Grafton to Hopkinton and a few over by Purgatory...but then I may still be comparing quality to NY and GA. |

I'd defintely be up for some NH rides (I'm in Fitchburg). Central and western MA does have some twisty roads, the problem is the crappy road surfaces 
I was in N. GA about a month ago... forgot how great some of the roads down there are... I grew up about 60 or so miles west of Suches  |

To the best of my knowledge, unless you have a real early build date '08, you're bummin'... just as I am with my '09. It's gonna be up to the factory to straighten 'em out...
only the first 08 models ( ecm BUEOD0CB 06-04-07 ) are tunable with ecmspy. Everything newer than that and you are screwed....
As far as I know; ALL 2008 models and newer use the new DDFI III FI system which DOES NOT perform/work like previous versions in any way,shape, or form. At least from what I have read. I am NO technician (thank god) just a motor/gear head.
Personally I wouldn't mess with it. (Well maybe I would, I cant leave anything alone) But only to figure out how she "Ticks". You guys have enough issues with the later 2008's & Newer bikes as I see it. you'd be playing with fire in untrotted territory if you ask me.
If you go messing with it, let me know when it breaks; so i know what NOT to do...

Eric's got the foolproof setup for changing 'em. I've done a front and three rears at his shed and am yet to scratch my rims. As for balancing, I dunno. All those tires and I've never balanced a thing and haven't seen any uneven wear or bumpy ride.
Oh yeah- my boss said the survey team (Eric) is on their way home. |
