What's interesting is I think this might be a regional thing. In my region there is no emissions testing or anything and the bike i just bought doesn't seem to have any of the violent acceleration issues people talk about (particularly from the UK/Australia and sometimes California).I've ridden both and will say that the N1000 is quite a bit smoother. The Suzuki is a bit more abrupt and violent... best way I could describe.
I think he just meant the powerband. The Ninja 1000 has power almost everywhere. Our bike doesn't start flapping its d*ck around until about 7k, then it's super violent acceleration. Our bike has a very supersport style powerband, the Ninja 1000 is much sport tourer. If you've ever ridden a CB1000R you'd know what I was talking about. That thing is so user friendly and smooth it's digusting. You can go flat out in any gear and it pulls the same from wherever you start. It's sickening smooth, I hated it.What's interesting is I think this might be a regional thing.

I'm not 100% certain since my test rides have been fairly low speed (limiting myself to 5700 RPM for the first 500 mi) and mostly short-lived (cold af).
But comparing my experience in the same gears and RPMs with the video of the guy going from a herky jerky stock bike to one with the PCV, I don't think I have the same issues.
This was something I was actually pretty concerned about and even pre-ordered a PCV before I took delivery of the bike (later came to my senses and cancelled it to test the bike out first). The Suzuki regional rep around these parts said he never heard of these issues in this area but would assist me if there were problems.
Yes our bikes definitely follow a more 600cc supersport powerband.I think he just meant the powerband. The Ninja 1000 has power almost everywhere.

The snatchy throttle is completely different, that just meants you can't really ride at a normal pace, especially in the lower revs. If you ride a bike that has this issue it'll look like you're on a bucking horse even when you're just trying to be as smooth as possible.
Already did, got speed wobble out of it. Going to have to get the suspension dialed in and possibly look at a steering damper. Amazing power though.Chuck, modern bikes dont need running in the same as older bikes. go out and test the 8k rush NOW !
I'm thinking my dyno might look pretty similar.I can't agree with several of the comments posted on this thread about snatch, poor power curves and not being comparable to the R K5. The issues with S are the result of poor set up.
I've attached my dyno results, from a race tuner in Northampton. Blue is stock bike, green is after a few mods including a Rapidbike Evo fuel controller. It is currently in auto mode but I'm due to take it back for further tuning but just look at what a quick setup has resulted in.
Bhp is rear wheel and torque is ft lb. Tests were at the same facility by the same tech. Results speak for them selves but the bike is making 175bhp at the crank and over 80ft lb!
Hope this provides some insight to resolve some questions.
Just lift the front tire higher when accelerating, no speed wobble here!Already did, got speed wobble out of it. Going to have to get the suspension dialed in and possibly look at a steering damper. Amazing power though.
There are 3 models which one are you referring to as the race has multiple maps accessed by a switch, traction control, pit lane limited, launch control, etc. I don't see how you can call that limited. Show me a pcv that matches that!Autotune on Rapidbike is pretty limited , cannot understand why people still buying this crap from dimsport....
Opinion based in what? Very little it seems. From experience I can tell you my bike fuelling issues have been fully resolved by the Rapidbike EVO and it's crappy autotune!PC5 why ?
I wrote about power commander? Did I ?
Crappy quality , customers service is a nightmare , autotune is just ridiculous
