No I had my last wc GSA mapped but don't feel the need with this one, last one suffered with surging with my akro on and the map sorted it. New E4 is fine for me so won't be getting it done
After Hilltop, mine is about 2bhp less at the rear wheel than my 2015MY GSA. This bike had only done 700 miles when I took it to Geoff, and the last one had done around 4000 miles, so that probably explains it.
What was it before mapped 95bhp ? Reason I'm asking ive had a go on a E4 bike and it felt slightly down on power .
It was over 100 IIRC, so about the same as the last one, but the after figures weren't quite as high. Geoff said to take it back after its done a couple of thousand miles if I want, to see what it's putting out then, as it'll adjust with more miles on the clock.
Only had time to put 97 miles on it so far

Really enjoying riding mine around the Scottish Highlands. Great bike, and glad SWMBO insisted I get the bike I wanted.

Anyone else notice midrange on Euro4 GSA is down compared to Euro3 ? I had demo on Euro4 on Friday and was hugely disappointed,bike had enough miles on it to have loosened up.Have got my dealer scouring Europe looking for a new Euro3.Would be interested to hear from others finding the same.
Sorry but I just don't get this. And I'm not saying your wrong. I put 18000 miles on 16 model year triple black gs and I'm now riding 17 model year triple black gsa - is there any mid range power difference ? Absolutely no. Gearbox seems slightly better but engine just the same.

I had a GS with the lighter crank Feb 2014 build, it definitely felt a bit livelier than a 15 plate same model that I tried.
Yes, had a 17 demo out a few weeks back, it felt a little week compared to my 16. Dynamic mode didn't feel, well, dynamic? I expect it's just a more restrictive cat to meet euro4?
I would agree with this, I test rode an early 14 and it spins up very nicely. Better than my 16 bike for sure.
My 13 yr did spin up really quick and when I changed to a 14 yr with heavy crank i could tell the difference between the two obviously due to the heavy crank, however after riding the E4 bike it felt like they had numb the power delivery compared to my 14 yr bike, ive been told there slightly down on power because of the E4 restrictions. I suppose air cooled engines have limitations and cannot compensate for these restrictions.
Hence why I took mine to see the wizard!
And you have a full posh exhaust system eliminating the E4 system

Get it from the horses mouth - chap is on the Africa Twin Forum, told me his handle is Oddjob AFAIR. He had a remap and was going to de-cat the Zorst.
