I've happily eliminated the free-play with the throttle spacer fix; and there's still a small dead-zone where revs don't move after throttle is turned - which I'm expecting/hoping will get fixed when I ask the service centre to reset the TPS at first service.
But, my throttle is really laggy! Here's an example: blip the throttle when completed stopped in neutral (or clutch pulled in, in 1st gear) at idle... Let's say you blip to about 3000rpm. Now try doing the same thing when the bike is moving at walking pace (clutch pulled in, 1st gear, blip throttle). For the same amount of throttle movement the bike doesn't rev nearly as much (maybe not at all in fact or perhaps up to 2000rpm) and sometimes there's a delay before the revs start increasing.
Occasionally the throttle does respond quickly when moving, and causes me to over-rev when changing gears at slow speeds.
This is liveable if I'm just pottering around town like a grandmother, but makes it impossible to ride in any quick fashion... E.g. Taking off from a set of lights requires turning the throttle then waiting to see if the revs move... If not turn throttle a bit more; ease clutch out, etc. I'm slower than cars now at taking off from a set of lights. I've never had a bike with an inconsistent annoying throttle like this; and anyone watching would think I'm a learner rider. I am used to instant throttle response that allows for fast launches, not diesel 4wd throttle response.
Anyone else experience this behaviour and can it be fixed ? Wondering if this is a side affect of the closed loop O2 monitoring or some feature of the Ecu to change throttle response depending on if moving or stationary or something else ?
