Low speed running

[nightrider]

When holding a steady speed ,say 30 ish in 3rd or 4th gear  the bike seems like it is surging  back and forwards ,  it holds the speed ok but feels not smooth , is this normal or does it need looking into , I had a power commander  fitted and set up on the rolling road  , so I thought it would have spot on fuelling , any body else have similar symptoms ,,,,,,,,

Errr, no sorry ! Doesn't sound right at all x x

This is why I don't fully understand why people mess with their bikes fitting power commanders and the like. The bike runs sweet just as it is, doesn't it?

I've experienced something similar in the past and usually found it to be due to me leaving the bike in eco mode around town after I'd used it on the motorway. Not sure if this is right or not, but since leaving the bike in standard mode around town the problem seems to have gone away.

, Why mess with something that is already good ?? IMO, fitting gadgets such as power commanders could only lead to issues that you would never had to deal with had you left the thing standard.

The reason I had the PCM fitted was to get rid of slow pick up at low revs  also it has made 6th gear pick up as quick as when you are in 5th , if you tried one that has had a PC fitted you would see what a different it makes , I wanted it to have the same power that my 1200 zzr had it now does , this surging will be sorted , I google it and some people on the zx forums have had the same thing on their gtr.  But there was not any answers ,

:agree Totally..... all three of the GTRs that I've had have performed superbly with more than enough power, which was readily available through all six gears.

The GTR is what it is, its not a lightweight superbike, rather it is one than has oodles of power every gear, naturally the GTR has its own characteristics

The GTR will do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds. It'll do 0-100 in about 5 seconds and it'll do 0-150 in.....well I've no idea but five seconds after setting off if I'm doing 100mph I must be in a rush to get somewhere swiftly, just as well I bought a GTR and not a Versys eh?

This used to be called hunting...............your air/fuel mix needs adjusting

Or just never ride at 30mph......

Totally disagree with what people are saying about not fitting power commanders especially after changing the exhaust.  I brought my bike with a 'Two Brothers' end can already fitted and it definately had a flat spot around 80mph in top.  Fitting a power commander and time on the rolling road by someone who knows what they are doing has transformed the bike, it pulls like a train through the rev range and is much more useable.

I suppose you are all going to complain that we should never fit after-market exhausts and we deserve what we get?  Personnally I hate standard exhausts but prepared to be shot down in flames

Rusty,

How can you expect people to do that on the ZZR/Versys forum, if you want to avoid the mention of the Versys, you'll have to go to a GTR forum
