765 Hesitation

Wonder if anyone else has had this?

Following a switch to Michelin Road 5s, I have noticed my RS has moments of 'hesitation' or flat spots - I don't recall it happening prior to the new tyres; though I also changed the end can to an SP Engineering number.

At around 4k revs, if I then crack the throttle open, there is this dip in power, before the bike then takes off normally.

There's nothing on the dash to indicate there's an issue (i.e. TC kicking in) - and though I have only tried this is the 'fast road' mode; I suspect the issue may be present in all modes; though I may try Rider mode with TC completely off.

Other than the end can, the performance side of the bike is standard.

 

Great, thanks for the suggestion - I have read through the thread on the Hilltop tuning, and it sounds like a good option - I also heard that Triumph can load the 'Arrow map' to help too.

Might try the '12 minute tune' to see if it helps first.

Thanks

 

That's not as daft as it sounds - the TC on my Ducati (and other models I understand), can often be impacted by changing to a completely different brand/type of tyre.

Working through a mental checklist of things that have changed since the problem arose - the only thing that changed were tyres; so off the back of the Ducati 'feature' it was on my list. Maybe I should have explained that better.

Aside from tyres, I was also thinking that maybe the ABS sensors might have taken a knock/got covered with something; not knowing how they function personally, it was again something else for the mental checklist, and linked to tyres being changed.

Back with an update though, the '12 minute tune' seems to have cleared up this issue, and she's running normally.
