    Glad you like it. I love the way it woke up the bike. The rear stock Dumlope was toast in 1400 miles :doh: Hope the Battleaxes are better.

    Update

    Just finished installing the resistor/removing the O2 sensor. Took it out for a test ride and the difference is impressive. It's a different bike. Really likes to rev. No more backfiring on decel. More power.

    My idle has moved up from 1500 to 1900/2000. Did anyone else experience this? Will reset it to 1500 via the idle screw (George recommended this). Since my closest dealer is >100 miles away, I'll have to wait to re-zero the TPS with iBeat.

    The front end of the bike gets "light" over 75mph and wobbles. Would a steering damper help?

    That screw sets the idle speed, it adds or subtracts air. It does not affect the closed position like on a carb bike - the throttle position when closed does not change when that screw is adjusted, there is no need to change the TPS setting.

    Mine will hit 95 with zero head wobble, check your front end completely before adding the damper.

    Exactly. Mine has seen the high side of 100 many times with little or no head shake. Dampers have a place and if you want one Motosportz makes an excellent unit for the 610 but don't use it to cover up a problem.
    Check that the steering head bearings are good and adjusted properly, check for flat spots on the tires and have them balanced, make sure the rims are true, check axle bearings, tire pressure, rear sag and make sure the sliders on the front forks don't have excessive play. Probably a couple of things that I missed but that should be a good start.
