Yeah that's fine, I'm always in the dog house with mine anyway!
It is much much better though. My theory is you could get away with just the map or the map and the slip ons as i reckon it's the map that smooths stuff out. That's why Ducati have cleverly done the upload dongle to release the map one time one bike. Ie if you could borrow a dongle and get the racing evo map I'm sure it would be better without the expense of the full system.
There are other benefits to the full system. It's no louder than the slip ons but...the bang that comes out when using the quick shift is deafening! That's reason enough for the cash in my book!
Tell your wife I recommend full carbon parts too! If I'm going to get blamed you may as well fill your boots!
Right on brotha. Let me know if I need to reciprocate on the blame... I've got your back.
