Howdy,
It's going to the garage for this anyway, but just wondered what the resident experts think.
When I'm cruising on the Motorway at about 5k revs and nail the throttle, there's a big lump of nothing before the power kicks in, just for a second. If I open the throttle slowly, it's all lovely and smooth and progressive, just when I open it wide it seems sort of like the bike's taking a huge breath before giving me any grunt.
Anyone know what this might be? I had it serviced a month ago and it started doing it shortly after.
My thoughts are: Unbalanced carbs or possibly a mixture issue.
Any ideas??
