For those who read Gary's three reviews, here is part 4. In this part he lets a friend ride his 250 and he takes a 600. An interesting outcome. Might make some who look down on the little ninjette rethink their position. Once again; enjoy.

This â€œnitâ€ appears in the form of a â€œhiccupâ€ (momentary power lag, followed by a ****** as it kicks in again) when going from total off-throttle position, to just cracking the throttle back on again â€¦â€¦ in approximately the 4,500 â€“ 6,000 RPM range â€¦â€¦ especially noticeable in the lower (3rd/4th, etc) gears. While following closely being a train of cars in front of me (at around 30-35 MPH), every time they would go through their unexpected cycle of slowing and speeding up again, and I was forced to go to zero throttle and then come back into it again, Iâ€™d get a momentary â€œ******â€ as if the bike lost fuel, and then had it turned back on again like a light switch.

I thought I was the only one who had this problem.

I wonder if a tune would fix this. Awesome write-up!!!
