Title: Throttle reset
Post by: Macskwak on September 01, 2016, 02:57:34 PM
Wondering if anybody has done the throttle reset and feels its stopped the jerkiness at low speed.
By reset i mean ignition on twist throttle slowly till it stops then release back slowly twist again slowly and release slowly. Then turn off ignition. Give it ten seconds then start her up. Should run smoother alledgedly. Anybody tried that one with results ?  :2guns:

I just put my standard exhaust back on after 3 years with  beoweolf system. Jerkiness and flat spot now gone and the bike much improved, except for the sound.

We went to Austrla a few weeks ago and my wife mentioned how noisy it was and it also felt a bit rough and hesitant. I just thought I would try it after reading a post on here and must say the bike is much smoother and nicer to ride with the standard pipe on. Ugly yes but feels better.
I must have got used to it and got accustomed to it over time.
I have considered changing it quite a lot recently but can't find anything much better for reasonable money. The trip to Austria convinced me how good the GTR is. I have tried numerous BMWs, triumphs etc.

You do have the option ot taking standard type end cap off and shorten can then replace end cap. It will make it noisier and it will look more in proportion. Ithink thats the main prob with standard exhaust its just too long n out of proportion imho. 🤔🤔
