Hello SD riders!

Mikael from Sweden in Stockholm. Love motorbikes and I'm a bit of an allrounder, like to go enduro driving on my KTM EXC and I also have a Honda CRF450R motocross mainly for iceracing and a GSX-R 1000 for trackdays.

Bought my SD a couple of weeks ago, it's a '08 SD with the complete Akra system and Akra map. Absolutely a joy to ride on open roads but a bitch in traffic (use it to commute to work...). Will try to sort out these issues soon thanks to all the people here sharing their tips and tricks!

Welcome on board dude.

That snatchy throttle can be dialled out without too many problems. You will gain a few bhp along the way as well.

Thanks guys for welcoming and input!

I've been reading through most of the posts of the must do mods. I think I now have quiet a good understanding of what needs to be done. A friend of mine has a small company specialising in tuning Ducatis. He will help me out with the mapping and support so I'm confident my bike will run smooth and strong all the way from the bottom when we start to dig in to it. The TuneEcu, what a great surprise!
