What setting do must of you use?

Every time I try HIGH, I have to go back to medium

Power delivery is just to harsh on high for me
 
If I was using mine on the road, I would keep it on medium, high was over the top on the street for me.
 
Does MEDIUM setting give you full power?

I know it gives you partial power on 1st and 2nd

And smoother throttle control

But does it give you full power on top?
 
High. Harsh in what way? As long as you have decent throttle control it doesn't send you to space.
 
Medium feels softer whereas High has more oomph at first twist. High requires a steadier throttle hand and a bit more focus coming off the apex.
 
I use medium on track and street. Same thing High just wasn't smooth for me on the track. Tried it a few times, couldn't see much benefit, so keeping it in medium for now.
 
won the last 6 races on medium setting.. same power as high at full throttle , the difference is noticed when you apply throttle.., say entering mid corner and you have a neutral/off throttle ,then as the corner progresses you apply a bit of throttle, the high instantly applies power that can unsettle the bike and your line at high lean, its sudden and impatient even with a very slow hand.. .. medium will apply a softer transition between neutral/off throttle and power demand.. tracks with slower longer corners, high lean, medium seems an obvious choice imho.. high setting on faster tracks as its suddenness is much less noticeable.. oops, this is for the 1299..

Agree. It is the small throttle adjustments mid corner in lower gears is what I didn't like on High.
 
Medium for mixed road conditions, Low in city exclusively since I think low makes it less jittery in very low speed situations and low rpm (sub 2000rpm) and high for track
