    Hopefully the plug sorts it. I did have a 900 Triumph twin and I remember this was a bit snatchy in traffic so you had to feather the clutch in 2nd. Apparently, Triumph said this was due to the torque of the engine, but I reckon it was also to do with leaner running at low rpm.

    I think a lot of modern bikes suffer because of emissions and noise laws. It's the only explanation I can think of as to why a company would produce a bike that needs any remapping or messing with the electronics controlling the fuel injection. I'm not going to pretend I know what this "booster plug" does but from a brief look, it sounds almost like it does what an open choke would do and run the bike richer, idling higher, giving you a smoother progression up the revs. But also be less fuel efficient and put out more exhaust fumes. I'm curious to see how it goes for you, since I know other bikes suffer from similar/the same problem of snatchyness.
