Yeah...I know it's still "under warranty", but I would really hate having to trailer-it all the way back to Langley for something simple.
In a nutshell: There is a miss somewhere in the 3500-4000 RPM range. In first gear between 35 and 40 km/h, there is a definite miss...nothing major, but I can tell she is hesitating. Same in 2nd gear between 55 and 65 km/h. Roughly speaking, it is in and around the "1/4 throttle" area.
It's as if she just runs out of fuel for a split second, then recovers, then starves....I'm thinking that, as a 2010, she might have been sitting on the showroom floor for too long and some of the secondary circuits in the carb might be a bit gummed up.
I've poured some SEAFOAM into the tank and ran her for a few minutes afterwards...I guess I'll see tomorrow.
Anything else I should look for? I've done the cursory checks of spark plugs, carb-boot, etc...She starts easily enough and idles well...no problem there.
Just to recap: 2010 DR650...84 original kms (aka NEW)...no mods...no tricks...no farkles...totally stock.
