Hi,

I find it very disturbig that it is almost impossible to hold constant speed (any gear) till aprox. 45. It is like on/off. Do you have similar issues?

Regards

I can relate to the previous comments and was even considering trading in the bike for a MT10 (which was super-smooth on a test drive), but before I did I tried a Power Commander V. Not cheap, but now it feels like a different bike. Fuelling is fixed, smooth ride, no more jerking. I may be imagining it but also seems to have more power. It's installed with the standard Power Commander GSXS1000 fuelling map. I am told it's worth getting the map tuned professionally, but it’s so good right now that I'm not sure I need that. Has anyone had that done, is it worth it?

G'day folks,
See my post https://www.gsxs1000.org/forum/367078-post6.html of yesterday.


I know it sounds to good to be true. A simple adjustment of the TPS without any special tools, electrical measuring devices and without going into service/dealer mode. I can confirm I consider my bike to be 99% (always room for improvement), did a 160km ride this morning to check I wasn't dreaming.



It's a different bike, can go down as low ad 45km/h in top gear and pull away S M O O T H L Y. No off/on throttle at all. It does have a little 'warble' when the throttle is completely closed from high rpm in low gears (from 140km in second gear) but not like it used to be. Still smiling 4 hours later.


Hope it helps fix other bikes as it has mine.


Regards, Fezwick

I don't know what year your bike is or where you are but I recently fitted the throttle tube for the 2019 model, which is the same one they've fitted to the new Katana, to my 2018 bike and it's made it a much nicer bike to ride. The tube has a different, larger diameter, cable ramp so it gives a more progressive throttle action, definitely worth the £17 it cost here in the UK. :D
