Re: [ST] 6K service

["Doug Lew" <douglew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone,
    I am a new owner of a 2001 RS.  I really like it, but would like to find
out more from you guys about the v10, v12 tune.  Is it a modification of the
chip that is optional depending on the modifications on the bike?  I have a
new exhaust on the bike and I noticed that the bike tends to bog off of
idle.  Will this v12 tune help that?  and is it something that we must
request when the bike is serviced?

Thanks in advance.

Doug
