Could it be a TPS adjustment that's needed? - ensuring enough fuel is being delivered at lower revs? (as posted elsewhere on this site?)
I've had my K8 Sport for about 5 months and it's always felt fairly snatchy at low revs-almost as if there's too much engine braking. It seems worse some days for some reason-I even check to see if the brakes are binding, but it's just my imagination. I've read that V twins and fuel injection don't really get on.

What really winds me up about mine is a very annoying rattle/buzz which I'm convinced comes from the oil cooler cover, but which I simply can't get rid of.
