Default Wife took the MSF course last week...

....passed her written, and got her endorsement this morning, now she wants to take out my bike..... I might have to put the bike in C mode for her.....
And yes she already has own gear.

Time to add a second bike to the stable perhaps?

Perhaps try to find a used 08 250?

C-mode brings it down to what, 100hp? And how does C-mode work? Cut out one spark plug?

It lessens the throttle response, by changing the fuel mapping but it still has the same top end. You just don't accelerate as fast.
