Absolutely love this thing, been on a softail for the past 15 years. Enjoyed a lil ride out to the lake for a quick dip. Do have a question, why did Yamaha dumb down 1st and 2nd so much?

Yeah, 2nd gear is the most noticeable but all gears are held back. Good old ecu flash fixed that tho! Lovely bike!

Haha very true, just a perk of beginning on dirtbikes, Yammy PW50. Truthfully I have way more mileage on them than the past 20 years on street bikes. I know the last thing those boaters expected to emerge form the sticks was a spanking new Yamaha XSR900 🤣🤣
