Is it me or is it the bike??
Here's the question: when cruising, usually in a lower gear (3rd , 4th), at around 4,000 RPMs - or higher (?) - any sudden movement that causes the throttle to close, even a little, really causes the bike to lurch (sudden deceleration), jerking me forward.
Small bumps in the road can make it happen easily too, sometimes causing me to bounce around trying to settle things down again. It's not extreme, like dangerous, but it is very noticeable (to me).
I was playing with this today trying to recreate the conditions and see if I can control it. It is SO sensitive it really makes me wonder if it's me or some kind of adjustment I need to make.
It doesn't always seem to do it either, maybe it's the temperature, maybe the RPMs, maybe gear selection - maybe it just me....
Anyone notice this? Is this just how modern bikes are - or should I get checked for Parkinsons?
Thanks
