Not really, though with the weather being so crap I haven't ridden it much and have let my other mk1 Tmax take the strain!
The only quirk I'm finding is the RbyWire throttle - the response can be a bit uneven. This isn't a great problem in itself, though I can get odd things happening when going downhill. I have mentioned this before, but to recap, Yamaha have built in a clever feature where if you go down a
very steep hill, it sets the revs to 3000rpm, which helps to keep the clutch engaged. However, when descending less steep hills, the system seems to get confused and keeps switching to 3000rpm steep hill mode, then changes its mind, then keeps going into and out of descent mode. No other owner on here seems to have experienced the same thing. Its mildly irritating rather than annoying and I probably won't bother doing anything about it until it needs a service, though I suspect the mechanics at the dealership will be utterly clueless about it. I suspect a software glitch, or maybe an iffy sensor somewhere.
