Yeah, I sometimes wish I had an '07 when I'm starting the bike cold. I usually have to keep the choke out for 2-4 minutes.

I also wish I had an '07 every time I pull in the heavy clutch of the '06.

I bought a reduced effort clutch kit for $29 but haven't installed it yet. At least one of my problems should go away!

The choke is not as big adeal as a post like this can make it seem; however, EFI is the future, and as we march further into that future it will get better and better. I'm not saying the '07 EFI is bad, but I will take a carburetor over it because that is my preference at this point in time.
Agreed. I'll deal with a choke if it means saving an extra $500 bychanging jets instead of costly remaps and dyno time when adding pipes and a high flow A/C...

Having aefi bike stinks, you do a stage 1 and they want 4 hours of dyno time, bump sticks another 4. I miss my carbed bikes.
