Default How can this be?

My 2RS came back from dealer having had its 12 month service (from what I can see on the service schedule it was oil/filter change and diagnostic check) plus the centre locks changed .

Anyhow, and trust me, this is NOT my imagination, the car is louder, more responsive and quicker! Weather is crap here today (95% humidity and hot hot hot!) so that is not the reason. Software upgrade?

Anyone else had this experience and before any wise cracks are made, no it's not a new 4.0!?

"SHHHHHH....don't tell, everyone else will want one, and the dealer is gonna make you pay double next time!"

I suggest you just enjoy it!

You guys!! Never cease to amaze me and make me smile. John you crack me up so much!

I knew I would get a beasting on this but seriously I have a different car. I am digging my own hole deeper with what's to follow but I am a feeling kind of guy, guess it's why I liked racing my ducati, and I can tell you my senses tell me this car is louder, more responsive and quicker....

Perhaps the last time you had your oil changed the crankcase was overfilled??

2RS or 3RS? Your post states 2RS but your avatar appears to be a 3RS...
