does yours stutter a bit?

[smidge]

hey guys, my bikes quite new to be still and i'm still getting used to it, but i wanted to get an idea if your bikes when accelerating and decellerating kind of 'chug' a little...

hard to explain, but imagine your accellerating, is it a straight up WAAAAAAAAAAAA through the revs or does it go WAWAWAWAWAWAWA

still relatively smooth, just not as smooth as a car

i've not owned a 4cyl bike before so curious how its supposed to be, my previous vtwin chugged like there was no tomorrow...

thoughts?

Is the bike warm or cold ???? They will "chug" a little bit if they are not up to operating temp or if the bottom bar of the temperature gauge is still flashing....Suggest letting her warm up a little bit before kicking her in the rear

definately warm, i expect it when cold

it could be that i'm not high enough through the revs to be accellerating (ie, should knock it back a gear) but i'm still a little fearful of the front coming up if i give it a big wrist-full

Yeah if you are letting her labour a bit she will chug badly , drop it back a gear and unless your a featherweight to front wont pop up that easy :thumbup:....If it does then just stiffen the rear spring setting up and it'll stop it....

What rpm's is it "chugging" at? Anything below 5-6, and that'd explain it.

unless your a featherweight

yeah ok :Flip:

yeah probably just below that, feels normal to accelerate from below 5-6 but maybe i just gotta get the motor on song a little more, it feels to torque-y down there!

IMHO, puppy below 7-8, but after that it's a pitbull...

where does your bike idle? if it is below 1100 rpms then you can have it set too low and the throttle response will be delayed.
