Can someone please tell me the mode i should be in for this thing to actually go fast. Anything past 50% throttle in any mode it just boggs down. Starting to piss me off. This is a no fun nancy bike. I have 1100 miles on this thing and im really disappointed with this bike so far. Looks killer diller! But is kind of embarrassing now.

I always keep my multi mode bikes in Sport. But what you are describing is an ERROR. Take it in for warranty repair.

First thing I did was a tune. Just from reading about all the restrictions these bikes were supposed to have. Then I did a full exhaust and DNA filter, and another tune for those mods.....I would at least get a tune if I were you. If nothing else.

Get TuneECU and derestrict SPORT mode. The settings from the factory rob about 30 RWHP and some torque. Also increase the redline limiter and you'll be much happier. If you want to go full "Penner" that's also available.
