    For me on my '05 I think it is the abrupt on/off of the throttle. It's always been something that bothers me especially on the track. I have a different bike for the track now but I never got rid of that throttle abruptness.

    The headlights. My 02 had both headlights on for both low and high beam.. the 03 is only one.. When I ride, I keep my brights on. I hate being asymmetrical!

    Exactly! My 05 was like that. There was always some citizen do gooder that would say, "hey, you got a head light out."

    I rarely ride at night so I always keep it on highs. I think a lot of us have heard your headlight is out.

    Well i've changed all the obvious stuff everyone changes cosmetic wise on my 09, fender eliminator and integrated brake light/ blinker also have blinkers on the eliminator, flushmounts in the front, double bubble black puig wind screen- next is a slip on GP exaust. Other then that the slipper clutch and EXUP system are taking care of my performance needs, maybe a elec. shifter but I have the clutchless shifting down pretty good without one and I like using my clutch to be smooth around corners-does the elec. shifter eliminate the clutch use?

    I WOULD LOVE A CUP HOLDER !!
    I wanna dip my balls in it !!

    Big ass turn signals and rear flap. Not a fan of the can (03) but I understand that was the norm back before they went with GP style exhaust.

    I would flip the rear brake caliper to the underside of the swingarm to make rear tire changes easier. I probably changed 45 sets of tires this year at the track, and yup, even though I didnt think it was physically possible, it still sucks and blows simultaneously.

    That's about it aside from all of the normal EVERYTHING you change out to make a race bike.
