    Exhaust / Fueling question

    Hi Alex, I was booked in with Mottorrad Cheltenham today at 10am. They road the bike, agreed there was definitely an issue, thought it might be related to the Akro slip on. Changed it for the OEM exhaust and rode it again, same problem. After much investigation, they looked at the software and...

    Thanks Oli!! Mainly road riding / touring, learnt to ride many years ago, as a youngster, but didn’t start riding “full time” until much later. Had various bikes, KTM 990 SM, Triumph Speed3, several Fireblades, but have wanted an RR for a while. Love the bike, just having a few “issues” at...

    Exhaust / Fueling question

    Thanks very much, will do. i guess coming from Blades with no electronics at all, to a bike packed full of them, there is the potential for there to be more issues! Fantastic bike though, regardless of these little niggles.

    Exhaust / Fueling question

    Not had cruise control before. The only thing I notice is say you have cruise set at 70mph and you accelerate, it then lurches slightly when it goes back to the set cruise speed of 70mph. I think this is probably normal though.

    Exhaust / Fueling question

    Thanks pof and Chocolatier, I guess a Dyno would be useful to see what is actually happening. Just out of interest, do you either of you have a slip on or a full system? Do you have the lumpy idle?

    Exhaust / Fueling question

    Thanks Alex, The surging at speed is like your at a constant speed and then you very quickly hit the gas for half a second, but in reality, you haven’t actually changed your speed. I’m not sure about being stuck in a loop though. For my own knowledge, why the lumpy idle? I’ve had several Blades...

    Exhaust / Fueling question

    Afternoon All, I have had my 2017 RR Sport for about 6 weeks. it had about 1200 miles on it when I got it and it has an Akra shorty GP slip on can. When it is at idle, it very noticeably hunts. Also when you are in gear and are holding a steady constant throttle, it feels like it surges. for...
