And give up cleaner air and 20% better mileage? Not me, I'll keep buying bikes with FI thankyouverymuch. Personally I don't think it's a FI problem. We've had FI on normal cars for at least 30 years. My '75 Opel Manta (German made) had excellent FI. Only problem it had was keeping rubber fuel hoses from leaking at that high pressure. Had to replace them every 3 years - or else!

I do agree with with the OP on this... there is at least a little bit of a problem. It might be the TPS. TPS and "fly-by-wire" is relatively new for bikes (virtually unknown on anything but F1 cars?). Personally I think they programmed the computer to stop fuel delivery a little too abruptly rather than smoothing it out a bit at the cost of mileage / emissions. But then - my GSXR was a bit snatchy and it had regular throttle cables. If it's a programming problem then maybe Yamaha can send out an update to fix it... or send us all PC III's. Class action suit anyone?...
