My throttle has been spot on, but I have only used it in standard mode so far.
Suspension has been spot on too.

I have been seeing about 45mpg, mainly on twisty rural roads. So, a range of only 120 miles. Fuelly says around 50mpg and that's probably more likely on motorways.

The OE S20 tyre on the rear only reached 2000 miles, but was very good, so I put Bridgestone's recommended replacement tyre, the S21 on. It's supposed to be good for 30% more.
Roads are rough around here, so I don't see the tyre mileage that others claim.

I also changed the grips to Oury's thicker latex ones, as I felt the bar was a bit buzzy.

Thanks for that. It's all good to know. I bit the bullet and put a deposit down on a silver one.
