@Aleksandar13 awesome tool, i bought the standard version in May. put my Z1000SX in for it and they offered £500 more PX against the standard MT09 than an SP so it was a no brainer. 

 

first service was done 5 days after collecting it!! added the comfort seat straight away and do 200 miles in one go which i have never been able to do on any bike previous. 

 

amazing bike, especially for the money, its so well specced. the Yamaha heated grips are amazing as well, they went on at the first service and have been a godsend the last month or so.

 

still got the Tenere as well.

I'm still debating to get the comfort seat, maybe in spring after the full system and tune had been done

not sure if i would for the SP.

 

the main gripe i had with the stock seat was the slippery top as its all vinyl rather than a lack of padding.

 

the faux suede on the comfort and the flatter profile means you are less likely to slip forward which was the most important factor in my choice.

i think it adds about an inch in height as well.

 

unsure what the stock SP seat is like in use though as it differs from the standard bike.

Some shots from today's ride... Testing the heated grips which by the way are amazing  ... 10 heat settings and used it on 4 out of 10 with temperature being around 9 degrees ,lovely.

The best thing about today was that I was able to enjoy the ride even in the wet which previously was not the case ... These s22 tyres are something else and they grip so well but the most impressive thing about them is the feedback  you get from them... Just amazing ... For anyone wanting sport tyres for the road bike please give them a go.

Bike is awesome can't wait for full system,filter and tune.

Aleks, how do the S22s compare to the Michelin Road 5s in the wet and on loose surfaces? I have used the Road 4s and 5s exclusively since they came out because they have extraordinary grip in the wet, but they also have plenty of tread to handle stones and gravel, which we have plenty of on our roads.

 

Looking forward to seeing a dyno chart once you are done with the tune.

To me there is no comparison... The s22 has way much better feel and grip in the wet and dry... Feedback is awesome and it's like having an extension telling me what the road surface does... Just amazing.. I've had the Michelin pilot sports and I hated them on the T7

Full system arrived yesterday and today I'll hopefully get some time to fit. Some shitty pictures attached but the quality is amazing and the welds are very nice. I'm glad I went with them so far.

Fantastic day in the garage today fitting the full system...quality is amazing and the sound is addictive... Bike has a lot more top end, wheelies in 3rd with no clutch now and it's a lot of fun out of corners .. very pleased with the result... Filter and remap next

[Aleksandar13]

Evening all, below are the results from my tune with Dave wood racing. 

Filter and full system including remap and de restricting the bike.

The gains are substantial everywhere but anything above 7k is now ridiculous and the bike is so much smoother is unreal.

The Dyno is done in 6th gear so there is a restriction in stock mod hence the big difference.

I'm very pleased with the result so far and can't believe how much more power it's making at the top , it's now peak power is 10300rpm whilest in stock format it was 8900rpm.

 

Rev limiter set to 10500rpm and it's made me giggle even more. 

 

Over the moon with the result.

Next mod brembo calipers, R1 320mm rotors and braided lines

Love the 09SP.

For me, i live for riding my Sportbike, (keeper, bought last year new), but I’m also greatly looking forward to my ‘22 T7, as it will cover all the things I can’t or won’t do wt my superbike.  Best to have 2 motos, if you can swing it, & have the space.

[Aleksandar13]

Update on my end... 13 degree yesterday and I went out for a quick ride on some familiar roads to test the new remap with the exhaust and the filter ... When I came back from the Dyno there wasn't really time or roads to properly asses the new gains and how they translate on the road.
I just want to say the engine and the shifts are so much smoother in the low to midrange is unreal and you can ride this thing all day sub 7k rpm...
Power delivery and what I think is crucial for this remap... Anything above 7k rpm is just awesome but when the stock bike used to drop power around 9k now mine is reving to 10500 rpm and peak power is achieved at 10300 rpm.. freaking awesome just doesn't stop pulling. Absolutely love it, with the remap and the full system the bike is eager to wheelie in 2nd if you are not careful with the throttle and will lift nicely... Happened to me couple of times yesterday accidently coming out of 2nd gear corners.

Next best thing on the list Brembo calipera and braided lines
Best bike I've owned...

That's a beautiful bike @Aleksandar13

You have a good eye for photography as well.  

Good thing I live in Canada or I'd be over there trying to get a ride on it.

Thanks for the kind words... I do try to get out and enjoy the roads but take shots so that I have memories from the rides.. hobby I suppose

[Aleksandar13]

Some shots from the other day, 100 miles of wet roads but I still enjoyed it a lot... Pulls like a train and handles amazing in the wet ...
