There was a 'lull' when I changed gear - like, no power for a second which I hated.
I'm giving the bike the benefit of the doubt here because I was the first rider and it might not have been set up spot on.




Hopefully this is a bike that has not been set up right. EFI should work spot on every time. All the Jap bikes ive ridden with EFI have always been spot on, so have the Beemers. EFI cars have been running perfect for years.



Mark,

Sometimes the manufacturers don't get the fuel mapping done right first time round.
Triumph had this problem on the original TT600's.
My Beemer also had this issue (very slightly) until my first service visit when the mechanics did an upgrade and has run perfectly for the past 11 years.
The first EFI Suzuki 750 GSXR's (circa 2001 or 2) were also notorious for this problem.
As a rule (perhaps with limited exceptions), the Italians got it right from the word go (excluding the beautiful but infamous Bimota 500 V-Due which was a direct injection system and which problem/model ultimately caused Bimota's original downfall in 2000/1, before being resurrected again).

So, on conventional engines and EFI systems (unlike that of the Bimota), these problems are not uncommon and are easily remedied.
In my own experience, this "hesitation" (as described by FT above) can sometimes be scary, especially in traffic.
