Hill start issue.

[pauly]

I've noticed this on my 22 and now my 24 RR. When pulling away, even on the flat, it takes more revs than I would expect to pull away smoothly. I didn't get this on my 13 RR, so I'm wondering if it's because the hill start is holding the bike?

Is the H on when you experience this? It will hold and make sure you're definitely meaning to move before releasing. Only have to press the brake release it manually...and compare back to back.

I haven't noticed, but the clutch on both bikes seems quite sharp when pulling away

My 2020 is sharper then my '15 was to the point of making sure I don't stall.... Hill start as stated above is 1 of 2 ways, extra revs pulling away which will disconnect or depress front brake lever briefly to disconnect . Has it's good and bad points....

I'd never noticed the H before, but I checked and it isn't that making the clutch so sharp. I've stalled my 24 bike more times in 2 weeks, than my 22 RR in 2 years. I'll have it checked at the 600 mile service.

When I tried to pull away on my Gen5, in the same manner as my Gen3, I stalled it a couple of times. I put the Gen5 in race mode and when pulling away didn't have an issue.

The clutch bite point is...odd. #stallclub

And another thing, revving to 2k every time it's started, even when it's hot. What's the point of that?

 

[alex]

Cat heating...they work at very high temps. Emissions regs...

Thought as much. Does it still happen if the cats are removed?

As far as I'm aware, yes. A tuner will be able to disable it.

My RS2E map starts up with a low idle.

It was between another brand new 1000RR or a 2016 Panigale R. I really fancied another Ducati, but ultimately didn't want to be on my own if it broke down or went bang. So it doesn't make sense for me to give BMW any cause to decline a warranty claim.
