I just got my FZ8 last week. I had a cruiser before and traded it in tor the FZ8. This is my first non-cruiser bike and I love it. But I have noticed that the throttle kicks in abruptly at first, from the off to on position. Since this is my first sporty bike, not sure if this is normal. Is this just normal for bikes with more power? Or, is this something a power comander would help with? If I just wanted to reflash my ECU, how would I go about doing that? Any advice or links would be greatly appreciated.

It's probably a combination of going to a more sport bike oriented bike from a cruiser and the nature of the FZ8. I remember the first bike I got was a yzf600r and prior had only ridden a dirt bike. At first I couldn't keep the Rpms from jumping way up until I got adjusted to the bike.
The ecu flash does smooth things out a bit, but the greatest benefit is eliminating or at least greatly reducing the flat spot around 5k rpm. The r6 throttle tube will probably help a bit more. It makes the throttle a bit more aggressive as it is a shorter turn to WOT, but for some reason many, myself included, felt it reduced the jumpy throttle.
I would recommend turbojoe ecu. You pull the ecu and mail it out to him. There should be a thread with instruction to remove it somewhere on here if you go that route.
