Let's use this scenario so we are all talking about the same nasty bits.
You're sitting at a red light astride your Gen II C14 in a left turn lane (US, right turn lane UK etc) behind a Prius (why not) ..anyway...the protected left turn arrow turns green
and the car in front of you goes into the turn...as the car is in the middle of the intersection you take off behind it...
just as the Prius is entering the lane of the cross street it brakes and decides to go slowly fade to the right so it can enter the corner gas station.
You don't have to brake, but you do have to close the throttle to avoid rear ending the Prius, ...finally the Prius is out of the way and you add a little
throttle...when
Nasty Snatch. Now in this scenario you aren't going very fast (you're behind a Prius remember)
and you are still in first gear and slightly banked for the slow turn, so you don't add a whole lot of throttle, just enough to continue.
I've had all three flashes* (4 if you count the OEM factory flash; 5 if you count eco mode {or whatever max' wants to insist on calling it
}), I've had my throttle adjusted per the owner's manual,
and I have it as Steve said to adjust it where it has no play at all....and in the above scenario there has been no change...ever. It always does it. Now with over 90,000 miles on my bike it could be
that I have excessive drive line wear, however my C14 has done this since new in 2011. No I haven't tried a throttle tamer, but I think I can simulate one by being extra careful and gradually
adding throttle which I have tried and got nasty snatch regardless. Frankly I give up, it's just going to stay nasty. I still love the bike anyway and I like two of the 3 after market flashes (I'm not getting
into the which is better wars, let's leave that on the other forum where it belongs) but none of them solved this problem.
Before someone says all bikes do that, my Dr650 doesn't, maybe all shaft drives do that as I've only owned one of those.
