Evenish money is that the bike feels snatchy when you're in say 2nd 3rd at less than 30 and accelerating. If it is then there's two things to look at. Chain tension needs to be very close to just right, also has an effect on selecting neutral when at a standstill. The gearing is a bit long on most of the monsters, noticable on all and a bit worse on the 5 box 750's. Something like a 15/41 sprocket combo tends to help massively. Chain a bit slack just magnifies it. If you drop a gear or dip the clutch when it happens and it feels better then as they say that's the badger, it's often called character LOL If not just clean the carp out of the carbs and bodies

Hi Nick,
In a 30 limit, it's not happy in 3rd; if there become even a slight upwards incline and I open the throttle as per normal it it does what I can only describe a a violent "kerchung kerchung" snatching, if I change down to second to get over it it only really does anything like smoothing out if it's accelerating. Which in a 30 limit is obviously no good. I went out on it yesterday with some friends, some of it very rural Shropsire roads and villages, it was a swine. Once out on the open road, accerating with a decent throttle opening it was great. Trying to hold it a steady speeds, 30, 40, maybe 50 it just jerk jerk jerks. I'd have thought beyond character by a long way. I'll check the chain tension, I have done it and not done many miles since but I'll check it again. Thanks for the replies all |
