There must be some sort of variance in these bikes as my '09 is perfect - nothing out of the ordinary at all. I'd ask the dealer to test ride another stock bike and see its the same as yours, or if you have to rent one for the day to compare. My TBW is great.

I have TBW on my van. Hate it. The thought of having the same crappy / over sensitive / delayed throttle (it varies according to what day it is) response on my bike is not nice.
If the goal is to get TBW to behave like a cable, then why have TBW in the first place?

Mine used to do that (hesitates on rev) before I put my PCV on, now it rev's just like I remember the cable setup did.....

Anybody convert from TBW back to cables with a carb? I hate it more and more everyday. I've been riding my 01 RK more and more as a result. Too sensitive on decel. Slightest twist forward and the RPMs drop off drastically. 12K miles on my 12 RK and I can't still cant get comfortable with it. I have no problem giving up the cruise control at this point! I HATE TBW!
Please don't respond with reasons not to convert and how superior FI is to carb!

I am too lazy to pull up the software to look at it.
