OK, so I have a 2008 with a 'throttle response issue'. Ever since the day I bought it (new) - it does not like to run in the 3-3,500 RPM area. There is a dead spot in this area when I am riding and holding the throttle to maintain speed. I don't have issues when I am accelerating up through the RPMs and gaining speed. Only when I maintain speed, matched to about 3-3,500 RPM. The motor goes flat and feels sluggish.
Way back when, to see if I could solve this issue - I bought a PCIII. But it did not do much. I have just lived with this issue for a long time.
I am thinking I'd like to jump back in and try to solve this. I was thinking about buying the Power Commander V and seeing if this helped. It feels like if I can just get into the fuel injection system and add some extra fuel in that area of the RPM band - it could help. I'm sure that is simplifying things however.
I have read a lot of posts over the years about throttle snatchiness - but don't believe I have read much about a dead area at a certain RPM area.
The bike is all stock, the PCIII map is 'regular' (can't remember what I got - I bought it from Fuel Moto) and the O2 sensor is unplugged.
Thoughts?
