I suppose I should clarify "right hand turns". Any time the bike leans even a little towards the right, (if I'm making a left turn out of my driveway, I make a VERY slight right motion to get around a parked car, then into a sharper left turn). If I do not do this pre-left turn right motion, it picks up and takes off like a bat out of hell like it should, then when I get to the intersection at the end of my street, if I'm turning right, it will hesitate on that first right turn.
if you think it's right-turn related:
with the engine started, you can try turning the handlebars lock to lock. if there's a drop or increase in revs just by turning the handle bars, you need to loosen one of the throttle cables.
i usually wait till there's 2 bars on the temp gauge before moving off. if not, there's just too much chance of stalling, especially during slow speed maneuvers.
There's no change in the idle by turning the bars.
Sounds like you need a bit more throttle.
Even if I'm giving a good amount of throttle this will happen. The first time it happened, it hesitated like a mofo, on what I was expecting to be a smooth, decently fast turn out of my driveway, even after warming up a bit (at least 2 bars is what I go for, usually 3). Almost dumped it.
What's the warm idle rpm?
about 1,200 RPM
Well, cutting off while making turns is usually a carb float issue on a car, however my bet is on throttle cables and the idle not being set correctly...
It's almost like the bike is forgetting that it's an inanimate object. It sit's there bored out of it's mind all night, has a hard time getting out of bed, and is slow to respond to the throttle and fire the injectors in it's groggy state lol. Does my bike need coffee like I do in the morning?!
Not that you mention carbs, It's exactly the response a carb'd bike gives when the engine is COLD (within a few seconds of starting) and not choked enough. Twist the throttle, and it hesitates and dies.
I tried bumping the warm idle up to around 13-1400, but all that did for the situation was make it sound like I was going a bazillion MPH while sitting there (Heyy ladies...
) Still has that slight initial hesitation, unless the engine is 100% warmed up. What I find odd, is it doesn't hesitate after I've been riding for a few minutes, so if the hot-o-meter goes down because I'm riding in 20* weather, still no hesitation. Just that inital bit. I'll have to see if I can catch it on video. (happens often enough that shouldn't be too hard...)
