***DISCLAIMER: A LOT OF TEXT BUT READING IS VERY APPRECIATED <3****
Hey guys, this is my first post here so before i talk techy stuff i'd like to introduce myself. I'm Rob 22 years old from germany. In November 2016 I got my first motorcycle license for =<48hp so the XTX was perfect for my needs. I bought it @12,000km and put about 4000km on it already. A few month's ago i managed to highside at about 30km/h, bike went down on the right hand side. Since then my handlebars are bent and i'm leaking some radiator fluid. Other than that there are just a few scratches on passenger pegs and exhaust. But the main problems i experience were present before the bike went down. I start to lose trust in the bike i love because some of these issues make the ride unpredictable in some way. As a rookie (in both riding&tech) I slowly start to lose confidence in the bike. I hope you guys can help me out. Issues: Misfire: A few months ago i was riding in my local area. As I made my way back home, I stopped at a traffic light. As the light turned green i gave quite some throttle and released the clutch . The bike made a weird clicking noise and the engine stalled. It felt really weird. The noise didn't sound like usual misfire but i'm quite sure it was a failed ignition in some way. After that incident I played with the throttle a bit in neutral. It happened again as the engine rpm went down and i twisted the throttle. The issue occured a few more times, always when twisting the throttle relatively quick after rpm decreased. I also experience a lot of backfire. Before the engine stalling, the throttle felt really weird, almost as described in the 2nd issue: Throttle Response: I think this one might be connected to the misfire/stalling. Sometimes when i want to rev up nothing happens. I twist the throttle and there is no response from the engine at all. The engine does not necessarily stall when this happenes. On second try its works again. Also i feel like the bikes throttle response overall has quite some delay, idk if this is normal. I can easily reproduce this when i'm in neutral and play with the throttle. Wobbling: I actually thought this is quite a common issue for supermoto/enduro. At around 140+km/h i experience what seems to be called tank slappers/speed wobbles/waving. The bike is jiggling around but when i lay down on the thank it disappears. A friend of mine told me this is by far not normal and i need to get it checked out. I guess its a suspension issue since i'm quite heavy. Mods: I tried out the snorkel removal and experimented with my CO settings between 18(default) to 28. It made the ride smoother (as intended), but didn't solve the issues i mentioned. Right now the bike is in my vendor's workshop. I'm a bit concerned that he won't find the root of the problems. I really hope you guys can give me some advice ![]() Cheers, Rob thanks for reading this novel. Last edited by Robrofl; 14-04-17 at 22:15. |
