I'm sure this must've been posted before, but here it is again just in case...

If you experience irregular fuel delivery causing jerkiness around lower revs (between 2000 - 4000rpm), do the following.

This needs to be done when you engine is COLD, eg first thing in the morning or after it's been standing long enough to cool down completely.

Start your bike and DON'T touch the throttle - let it idle for a MINIMUM of 15 min.  This resets something (can't remember exactly what) relating to fuel injection/delivery.  Switch bike off without touching throttle.  Switch back on and ride like normal.  You should notice a smoother delivery around lower rev range.

You may need to do it 2 or 3 times for best results.  Works a treat! :thumleft:
