A lot of new model injected bikes suffer, throttle response issues and it's likely to get worse due to emissions standards Euro 1 -6 etc. Cars get around it by being bigger and it's easier to add other sensors, boxes of electronics, bigger exhausts, etc and they tend to be somewhat slower.
Most can be cured by simple resistors which fool the ECU into thinking the bike is running colder than is really is (richer fuel mixture) which is what many plug in devices (Boosterplug etc) do and charge you a small fortune for what really cost a few quid. I've got a customer who had issues with his SX, over come by plug in, just another fuelling issue. I've not heard of the throttle sensor issue (sounds US to me and law suit mongering) I can't see it being that either, as far as I'm aware and since the Honda fly by wire throttle (Fire Blades) dramas, they now fail to safe, i.e. any problem with self diagnostics and they just don't work, but it's possible even if very small.
But I could well be wrong.
Long and the short you can't beat the FZS 600/1000 package is a real winner.
