mine feels and sounds "different."

I concur! Mine feels a little more smoother on lower gears and sounds a little louder as well after the recall services

Mine went fast before the service and it still does. It's crazy

Ok so if this isn't all in my mind, the bike runs smoother (not as twitchy) and it's definitely not as loud. And previously the engine was quite blubbery I could really get it to sound off under bridges by backing off the throttle but now the sounds is more even and doesn't fluctuate back and forth. Not sure about the speed but to me, it feels a bit different in the response but not necessarily faster. i dunno.

most of the recall is due to torques on nuts and bolts. i think an update mapping would explain the better ride subseqent to servicing

Surely that means your exhaust flapper was stuck open before the recall?

I checked with tha factory, and these are the only 2 recalls they cuold give me since I got it in May, so I guess the others I hear about are VIN related?

- n° 857: check of the fixing of the rear suspension road screw
- n° 863: security recall.
