To the guys that say, "No engine braking," what rpm range are you running, and (for Gen3) are you in Sport Mode?
I get incredible engine braking at 6,000 rpm and above; so much so that I get serious 'head dips'.
What he said. If you guys aren't getting engine braking, your doing it wrong. This bike will light up the rear wheel if I drop too many gears at too high a speed and dump the clutch. Hence, the slipper clutch in the newer models.

In the 1st sentence; "I picked up an '07." He just thinks there's less engine brake'in cuz he's go'in much faster on the straights, 'n into the corners hotter.
