Great video mate, I also have the same bike in the UK, it also is a bit snatchy, I think I will get my ecu done , regards James from wet old blighty!

I've had my UK 2022 SE tuned too. As you say night and day difference in throttle feel.

Thanks for the video, Dave. I test rode one of these a couple of years ago and the unsettling throttle killed the deal for me. As well as having the salesman tell me that all I had to do was change the way that I rode...after nearly 50 years of riding.. So I bought a KTM 890R instead..:) Anyway, I've been waiting for someone to post exactly such a video since, and you've nailed it. I'll get one now. But one question - has the reflash helped the clunkiness in the N-1-2 gear changes at all? Thanks again...from Tassie.

Snap Crackle Pop! 😊

Will impact the warranty and you need yo inform your insurance

Numb thumb couldbe Carpal Tunnel...?? I had the same prob & it was that..

Apart from vibrations above 4.500rpm my main issue on my 2023 SE is the bogging when going very slow, very hard to do 30kph steadily in 1st or 2nd without the bike bucking. Solved now?

Thanks for the vid... do you think you will have issues with a road worthy with no cat on the bike?? Just got one myself and looking at putting headers on but being warned not to remove cat??

do you consider the 16 front sprocket mod as a future mod for your bike?

Mate, have you gotten the suspension set for you yet? Worth doing. Potentially biggest bang for buck you can do. Had my Jaffa set up for me in Brisbane by XXX rated suspension who is the guru that works on the current Aussie superbike champ. $70 it cost and the bike handles the way it should. I thought it was fine beforehand but the rear was way off. Having the SE it would be even better.

Hi Dave, nice review. Any particular reason for going with Delkavic headers as opposed to Akro, apart from the big price difference? Also, I’ve been told (no personal experience) that headers with the standard muffler is very loud…doesn’t seem to bad in the video. By way of comparison I have also have a VFR800 (series 8) with an SC Project muffler (pretty much straight through) that is pretty loud, but not obnoxiously so.

Allensford Australia 🇦🇺 Kawasaki Motorcycle 🏍️ Division “ your ahead on a Kawasaki “ Reach for bars with eyes closed at rest. The wrist will automatically provide for natural carpal tunnel position. If bars need adjustment or replacement then the machine will be more comfortable for your body. The front fender is far too abbreviated in rear. An extension helps keep radiator and header pipes clear of debris. Suspension needs time as well as engine to allow break in procedure. 600 miles before engine to exceed 4,000 revolutions per minute. Oil change and chain adjustment the machine is ready for its performance envelope. Safe and happy motoring 😊.

What’s the advantage of the delkevich headers? Do they basically delete the cat? If so wouldn’t you need a dyno tune instead of a flash?

Do you know if it has any impact on the warranty? :)

Funny you talk about the numbness in your right thumb I have only done 250 k’s on mine That’s the first thing I noticed, I thought it was my gloves at first , tried a thinner set with same reaction, It drives me nuts

How much to reflash Dave?

With roads like that.. why wouldn't you !! .. our roads are crap.. more holes than a swiss cheese😊
