Suzuki V Strom 800 | ECU Re-Map Thoughts

The ‪@SuzukiBikesUK‬ V Strom 800 is an amazing motorcycle out the box, but it was very quiet and also a bit heavier than it's blue brother, the Suzuki GSX-8S so I wanted to get some of that fun and silliness back after trading in my GSX 8S for my Daffy Duck V-Strom 800RE. This entailed fitting an ‪@ScProjectChannel‬ titanium exhaust silencer and a ‪@DNAHighPerformanceFilters‬ air filter. Next thing was to sort the fuelling, so I booked the Suzuki VStrom 800DE in at Steve Jordan Motorcycles (https://www.stevejordanmotorcycles.co.uk) to get the ECU re-mapped and fuelling correctly.
Has this transformed the bike into a more practical GSX8S? Has it made any difference to how the bike feels to ride since before the remap?
Here are my thoughts.
