Hi all,
So I've been through as many threads as I can to try and find a solution to the sudden kick when I try to roll the throttle back on.
I have a K5 GSXR 750. I love everything about it, apart from the dangerous sudden kick when try to get back on the gas.
Mine does not do this intermittently, it does it all the time, every time I ride it. However, it only does it between a certain rev range, annoyingly within the rev range we problably all like to ride these bikes at.
This is when mine does and doesn't do it.............
Below 4800rpm it is absolutely fine. I can roll off the throttle from any rev range braking in to a corner, tip the bike in and, as long as the engine is below 4800rpm I can roll the throttle back on and fuel delivery is perfect, the power transmits smoothly through to the rear wheal and the bike stays planted.
Above 4800rpm is a nightmare, especially if the bike is right over. If I attempt to roll the throttle back on above 4800rpm the power is delivered to the rear wheel with a dangerously abrupt sudden kick which really unsettles the bike and when lent over, this is just scary.
I have experimented a lot with this problem when riding to diagnose when it happens.
Day to day riding on the road I can kind of ride around this problem as I just try make sure the revs are below 4800rpm when I roll the throttle back on, or keep the throttle very slightly cracked. There are corners though where i really wish I didn't have to do this.
We do a fair few track days through the summer and the first ones are gonna be within the next two months. This is first time I'll be taking the K5 to the track and I really want to get this problem fixed because I do not want to ride on the track having to keep revs below 4800rpm!
I wrote this description because I didn't find anyone with the same herky jerky problem as mine. If anyone has this problem or has seen it on this forum can you please add the links so I can see what their fixes were.
Cheers all
