I'm getting a little annoyed with the surging problem at small throttle openings.
30 MPH, 3rd or 4th gear, the bike feels like it's running lean.
This is very annoying when running around town, and especially annoying when instructing kids on scooters for the CBT.
I have tried changing the yellow coding plug for the brown one, but this just moves the problem to slightly larger throttle openings (40MPH in 3rd or 4th).
a friend (also an instructor) has the same issues with his 1150 RT, and we are both starting to dispair. His older 1100RT didn't do it, and my thundercat didn't do it (and that had a race system).
So what's gone wrong here?
It feels like an air leak into the engine, but the throttle response is nice and crisp, pulling cleanly when snapped or rolled open.
I have seen reccomendations to change the TPS setting, but does this not impact on the catalyst?
Any ideas? This fault is spoiling a great bike.
Cheers,
Mike.
