Heya folks. Noticed an issue recently where if my throttle is at a certain position while riding the exhaust sound gets really sputtery and choppy, and I end up losing speed (RPMs get 'stuck' and slowly decrease) unless I let off a bit or increase it. There seems to be a discernible dead zone in every gear based on said throttle position, maybe somewhere in the 30-40% open range. This took place prior to my PC3 install, so I don't think it's related to my map.
Is this the dreaded TPS issue? On an 08 S2 with 18,000km and have done a bunch of things as far as maintenance is concerned to help the bike run better. This issue has been bothering me because it makes maintaining 120kmh on the highway a bit of a chore since if I move a tiny bit past the threshold, I lose power to a degree, and if I go past it I will speed up toward the point where I'd risk being pulled over. Bike seems to run fine and pull hard otherwise, only thrown off by what appears to be the position of the throttle. Sputtering is apparent while accelerating hard too, as the throttle passes the problem spot.
