07 on R1 - Fly by wire throttle.

Does anyone else hate this? I find it really snatchy and unpredictable - horrible to ride.

PDQ are going to try a custom map to sort it but I don't hold out much hope.

Got an 08 with a quick action throttle and a custom map and its silky smooth ...

Oh that is good to know. Who did the map?

PDQ have quoted me 3 hours on the Dyno for £180 all in. Not too worried about the price - within reason - I just want to enjoy riding the bike again.

I've got a PC3 for mine, but haven't had the time to have it fitted or set up on the dyno.

After changing from my 05 one with a PC3/De-cat/pipes, I have to say that I'm not overly impressed with the throttle action and delivery.

It's been back to the dealers 5 or 6 times, to have the TPS checked/re set, and finally replaced, as it kept cutting out, and running rough below 5K.

isnt it a shame you cant loose the evil wires & use proper metal string again?
why do they ruin a simple working system with crap electronics?

[rsv gone!]

And even that was a step back from the silky smooth carburation that older Yams are blessed with

I love the throttle control on my 2007 R1 - much better than my previous K6 GSXR 1000.

Could not agree more.

Seton Tuning (BSS Team) in colchester built the whole bike for me and did the map on a Dyno Pro dynojet.

Mine also cuts out on occasions - normally when still cold but has been fine recently. But I am quite pleased with the throttle control in general.
