For those of you who have ridden throttle by wire vs cable system. My 2017 dyna seems kind of abrupt when I come off throttle compared to my former 2019 Roadglide Special. I’m thinking the computer on throttle by wire kind of controlled that feeling on touring bike. Any one else experience this?
I haven’t experienced it on motorcycles, but when I bought my truck that is TBW and switching between the TBW and TBC on work trucks the throttle response difference certainly is noticeable. Throttle response is horrible in Mopar vehicles IMO.
so I can certainly see the TBC bikes being much more responsive coming off the throttle as the butterfly valve closes in the intake. I would say my dyna has great throttle response. Just something to get used to switching between the two bikes.
Yeah I’ve noticed it, it’s definitely different. At least it’s not as bad as the early tbw cars, I could hardly rev match those because I was so used to cable throttle I really had to jab the throttle on tbw cars to get a rev up between down shifts. The newer ones aren’t nearly as bad.
back to your question yes I think the tbw smooths stuff out to make things not as jerky, I think you are just noticing the difference between the two.
