both of the bikes are stock and yes, the 250's grips are lower and more sporty than the position of the 650. so far with about a month and 500 miles i'm still getting used to the added heft/ weight, power, and weight distribution change on/ off throttle. from what i've read the FI shuts off eagerly at deceleration to protect the catalyst?
here's a shot of the bar.
