Hello All,
Had the 2008 RSV1000 (completely stock) out during a very hot summer day- well into the 90's F. Out on the open highway, I was holding steady throttle and noticed a slight surging. I rolled the throttle quickly wide open and the bike hesitated and then lunged forward. I repeated this several times and could duplicate the hesitation upon acceleration and I could duplicate the surging at steady throttle.
What's going on here? Is this a normal characteristic of the RSV (this is my first)? Did the heat play a role in this? The bike's temp gauge was pushing 200 degrees F.
The weather is cooling a bit now and i will take her out again and try to make the surging/hesitation happen once more. I'm just curious if other 2008 RSV riders experienced the same.
Thanks,
Desmo
