GS LC hopping away......

[ukrr]

Just a quick update - I was wasting time this morning before heading out a came across a video on Youtube posted Feb 2013 I believe. I think it is an official BMW video showing a computer generated breakdown of the LC engine with notes on each section. When it gets to the clutch its states that it is a wet clutch with an anti hopping system. Hmm....maybe they left this out on my bike - still on the shelf. Anyway on a more serious note - I am going to take it into the dealers for them to have a look at but I have a feeling they will say there is nothing they can do.

Maybe I should have waited for a later model with some of the new bike issues sorted out.

Suspect any reference to 'anti hopping' is a translation of slipper clutch.

I have had this happen once. It was when I didn't slip the clutch for very long before letting it out out all the way. The surge as the clutch was dropped cause the front to rise and then the hooping began. Perhaps they use the accelerometer to predict a wheelie rather than wait for the front wheel to slow.
