RE: Hesitation on 08' FBW throttle
After riding again last night I payed closer attention to this problem. When I did not ride as hard and let the clutch out slower I didn't notice the problem. So I venture to say that the "problem" is in all the bikes but some rider's style makes it more pronounced. Then again maybe not. It very well may be an EPA thing. Designed into the bike to make us less aggressive riders with the end result being less fuel consumption. T.

The delay encountered from idle is there on all the FBW bikes. Very minute and really depends on the rider habits (way of throttle usage) Most riders "goose up just a little" before releasing the clutch so the delay actually catches up to the clutch action and therefor it not noticed or felt but, if you use the gas and clutch as you would in a car you will probably feel the delay. Hence no goosing of the gas from idle just throttle the same time releasing the clutch. I have tested this on a couple of bikes making sure not to goose the throttleand have actually stalled the bikes because of the delay. If I ride normally, I don't even notice the delay. In fact you can easly overcome the delay with just a little practice.

Have not had an issue with that what's so ever. Much better than my cabled "98" RG. Smooth as silk and shifting is great.

Now I'm just counting the days until the PCIII is out. Put the new SE air cleaner on yesterday and pipes will go on when the PC is done. I MIGHT even get to ride it before it goes in storage [sm=biker.gif]
