    What Is Surging, Exactly?

    First gear, just off idle, 90 degrees in road construction traffic. Thats where the surging will DRIVE YOU NUTS. Its feels like your towing the car behind you and the slack rope tightens up pulling on the bike slowing it down slightly.....over and over. Annoying.

    It's What The Dealer Said

    You can run the bike with the OEM mapping and one or the other (Pipe/Filter) but will typically see some lean surging and possibly popping associated with that. Usually you need to remap when running less restrictive exhaust or filter. So the dealer is correct in that you SHOULD run the PC but...

Galaxy Blue works for me, but its not like I had a choice. If she gets a scratch someday, shes going to the paint shop for a custom two tone paint job B)...
