hi folks!
I think the electronic gas in '09- models is a lot worse than the mechanical type before!
my problem is the stop and go- traffic: when you close the gas completely and you want than to accelerate very smoothly the gas is not very sensitiv and the bike jumps forward! so the problem are the first
4 or 5 degrees, the rest seems to be perfect imo.
what do you think- any help or problem-solving?
have fun!

It may be just the way its set up. There shouldnt be any difference they just moved the resister from the throttle body to the handlebar, so if anything it should be better. All the cables did was to move the resistor remotely. At least thats how I see it, but I may be wrong.
I know with the SERT or whatever the new version is called I can play around with mine, but I personally dont have any issues with it.

You know, I never thought about it like that but makes a lot of sense to me!
I think I understand. The throttle has a little on/off action at slow speed. You twist and nothing happens then it comes on all at once. Mine is a little like that and it does make slow speed maneuvers a little lurchy if you are not very careful with the throttle.
If there is an adjustment/fix for this I'd be very interested as well.
