I suspect some of that is the nature of the beast.

As stated above, the way it makes power is just intoxicating. My Triumph Bonnie was a 900 also, but a complete bore to ride by comparison. This bike is torquey as heck and a riot to ride. Brakes are like the hand of God himself. Love love love this bike!
Rich is better than lean. Maybe a dyno session will help. My low rpm issue was solved by richening the mix and dyno tuning.

I always thought that the Hand of God is what tries to lift me outa my seat at the ton mark!
