I encountered a strange behavior of the throttle control, traveling down a downhill pass, the road being particularly crowded I often held first gear and in the hairpin bends, modulating the clutch, I noticed several times that the control unit was giving gas strokes... 2 or 3 each time... now the bizarre thing is that by modulating the clutch, if the gas stroke given in atunomy by the bike occurs while I am releasing the clutch, the bike obviously jumps forward... this thing of the gas strokes I had already noticed in downshifting, especially 3rd/2nd by releasing the clutch at the correct times, that is, immediately after engaging the gear, the bike would jump forward. .. I had convinced myself that I was touching the throttle control, which, being very sensitive, sensed an opening... instead it didn't... I will have to report this because in some cases (downshifting / clutch pulled downhill) the bike accelerates by itself...

to understand, it's like when you hold the bike in neutral on the stand and you feel those rpm changes, due to the warm-up phase... but here we are talking about the bike in motion and after hours of riding, so largely in temperature... very strange, it's the first time it happens to me.

 

Thinking out loud here.
These things have adjustable engine braking.
I have not played with it much yet but in Custom mode the engine braking level can be set.
I would figure the only way to change the level is with adding or removing throttle.
Seems odd that it would be enough or abrupt enough for your issue but maybe.

Maybe if you build a Custom Mode equal to the one you always use but change the engine braking to see if that changes your issue.

 

this has sense!

will try

 

Have you tried rain mode? This mode 'softens' the throttle response and engine braking parameters making things less twitchy. If your problem remains you might need to drop by your dealership.

 

Just curious, what is a "gas stroke"?

 

Kind of like a quiff, but not as funny

 

throttle openings

 

I have definitely noticed the same thing, especially in sport and my custom mode. As someone noted, I think it is the engine braking trying to match revs on the downshift. It does not do it when I blip the throttle and match revs on my own, but it definitely does on slow speed downshifts when you least expect or want it to...

The other annoying as Hell thing my bike does is with the brake proportioning. When it initially kicks in, it is abrupt and grabs too hard in the front, then it eases off.

 

ops... which value of Engine breaking you have on Custom mode?

 

I had moved it down to “base,” but I just changed it to -1. I’ll see if it makes a difference.
