Bike hesitating in 1, 2 and 3rd gear

Racer0827 · Aug 31, 2013

Trying to race this weakend and from the start bike hesitates in 1st, 2nd and 3rd fear while bucking violently. Clears up when get into 4th. If I feather the clutch during this time, problem is eliminated. Additionally after 4 - 5 laps, bike while shut down mid corner. Pull clutch in and blip throttle, clears up and can finish session. Had zero problems my last race. Only changes from last race to this one, new rear sets and clip-ons.
Checked battery termminals, fuel pump connection, changed kickstand sensor relay. Checked current. I am clueless at this point. Can't race tomorrow if I can't get it cleared up. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken

Turn TC down or off and see if that cures it.

Check clearances between ABS ring and sensor. Front wheel installed the right way round (I know!)...

Good luck!

maybe next time with a DDA usb plug-in,more information would be available to diagnoses....even race techs need info to work with..or it will be anybody's guess/suggestions...

a small investment if you are into races....

Agreed on the DTC changes. My bike hesitates in low RPMs in gears 1-3 as well and DTC engages a bit on aggressive takeoff from first. I have very conservative DTC settings (Race 5, Sport 6, Wet 7) but EBC is on 3 and once it gets above 3 grand I don't have any issues on any map or in any gear.

edit: my settings are so high because I ride street. On the track your DTC should be like 3 or less.
