Still thinking I should have kept my 1150?

The SC and TC suddenly become what they should have been when remapped at Hilltop. fitted with AF-XIEDs to shift the Lambda values is another option but the map would get my vote. I have a Power Commander which does the job but is very much a 3rd place option.

Sorting out the ECU maps really does pay dividends. Presumably an aircooled big twin just can't make power and meet EU regulations like a water-cooled 4 banger can do.

Having had a PC5, a remap and the AF XEID options I would without hesitation now go for the AF units....no question.
 
Just been out and spent an hour cleaning the GSA , it still looks dirty the panels are flimsy, awkward to get into gaps/ behind clocks /screen etc, the exhaust behind the valve / cover looks like a 10 yr old bike the switch gear is dirty - engrained almost , can't wipe the boxes as it will scratch the aluminium - a fork seal keeps "misting" dealer tells me it's ok they all do that!!
engine is a bit rattly- even for a GS I think,

17k for a bike and I get shit all up the back of my legs and all over pillions legs!.

The BMW tank bag is marking the tank

on WOT the bike feels a bit hesitant- running lean??
The clutch lever sticks a bit and have to flick it fully off with fingers,
the front brakes have squealed since 400 miles, the rear brake judders at low speed using front brake lightly( yes I usually use he back !) linked brakes?
Number plate is delaminating ,
finding neutral sometimes is a PITA! Speedo over reads by 5-7 mph
, can't read speedo on the move too dam small ,
drone from front end a bit like wind noise but not! Dealer said it was tyres so changed them- still there! I think it's the gap in front fender?
Manual headlight adjuster doesn't seem to do anything?

Heel plates are all scuffed already
(
Put tape on frame to protect it from rubbing)

And to top it off my friend just bought a new GSA TB yesterday- the bike I wanted but dealer said they didn't do a GSA just a GS - 2 months later they are here!! Dealers a cock!

Mines done 2500 miles & 2 months old not impressed!!
