there's a good reason why firms like k tech, maxton are in business.
Theres a good reason companies like Yamaha are in business. Afterall they put the stock shock in there in the first place. They spend hundreds of thousands in R&D and have teams of specialists design and set up a motorbike to work exactly as it should.
Then the average joe whos buys it decides it's not good enough and changes parts out for something they deem to be 'better'

the reason maxton et al are in business are because firms like yamaha get it wrong so often. why else would they sell a fazer with a spring rate set for 10st.
dynojet had a record year in 2006/7 sorting out the fz1 fuelling.
would you like some savlon for those burns

Maybe because the vast majority of Yamaha customers around the world aren't all fat bastards like us in the UK haha and while I'll agree that they royally fucked up in 2006 with the Fazer fuelling they sorted it out by 2008 negating the need for dynojet to do anything unless people start messing with the bike again.
Look I'm on your side in all this, my bike is more heavily modified than most but I still stand by the fact that if you left the bike completely stock it would run/ride better than 90% of people could actually ride it. The problems only start when people do 'mods' for the sake of doing mods
A prime example being swapping the exhaust out for something louder/prettier which straight away messes with the fuelling which then leads on to buying a power commander then a remap and changing air filters etc etc.... where as if ya left the pipe alone the bike wouldnt have sounded as cool but would have been running fine
