And be slightly annoyed at the bike every single time I ride it in the stop/go uphill/downhill commute to to work.Īt this stage I'm leaning towards option 2. There's no way I'm spending $500 to get the injector cut disabled. Problem solved, bike was smooth, as it should have been from the factory.įor the R3, the bike cost me $4k, and a flash is $500 (in Australia). This sh!t me to no end on the XSR900, but I was able to get it locally flashed for $200 (AUD), which wasn't bad considering it was a $10k bike. rinse and repeat until you reach the bottom of the hill. With closed throttle, the bike cuts the injectors, and the engine braking starts to slow you down, but you don't want to slow down, you want to maintain a constant speed, so you ever so slightly as slowly as you can open the throttle a bit, then the injectors cut back in and the bike jumps forward and now you're accelerating, but you don't want to accelerate either, you want to maintain a constant speed, so you ever so slightly close the throttle again until the injectors cut and the bike's engine braking again. What this means is that on the majority of downhill descents, it's impossible to maintain a constant speed as you literally have to pogo between 0% throttle and something I'm guessing at around 5%. Just like the XSR900 I had before this, the fueling is plagued with the dreaded injector cut on closed throttle above a certain rpm. When out on the open roads the bike performs beautifully. I bought the R3 to commute on, with an occasional mountain run on the way home. There's one thing really getting on my nerves.
