So my issue is Standard mode changes gear too quickly and only has 3/4 of available power. Sport has full power, hardly any engine braking and the gear change point is extended so it changes up much later and down earlier. What I'm looking for is a combo of standard and sport, or standard with full power is actually it. So I messed around and set User 1 to be just that. I'm pleased with that.

They'll be no new bike. This is bang on for what I want and even the little things that weren't ideal have been, or can be, changed simply enough. its a keeper!
