05 fjr abs. 27000 miles. has always run perfect. all service done a reputable dealer, where chief mechanic owns 2 fjr's.
at 6500 rpms there is a hiccup in the acceleration. like the rear tire is loosing traction for a fraction of a second, or like it is hitting a rev limiter for just a fraction of a second. the tach jumps from 6500 to 7000 in an instant but then it winds up great all the way up to redline. does it in any gear, and usually only under hard accelleration. i.e. wide open throttle. i have noticed it for awhile but thought it was just when going over an expansion joint on an on ramp or something. i don't wrap it up real tight, real often, so i don't notice it much. tonight i tested it a bit and it is happening pretty consistently. any ideas? i'm due for my 28000 service so i'm going to mention it to my mechanic, but i thought i would poll the board. thanks.
