    throttle

    When I am engaging the clutch, relaease the throttle and shift, it appears and feels as though there is a very slight delay. It feels as though the throttle is not able to quite close fast enough. Again it is a slight delay but it is a very different feeling and situation than from what it usually is.

    Any feedback?
    Thanks!

    Out of curiosity- is the bike an '01 running the original map?

    Weather conditions in which this occurs please? Mine does that too on occasion. After 5 years I still haven't found what's causing it. It's here one day (usually in the wet) and gone the next.

    Check and make sure the elbows (where the cables run), coming out the back of the throttle control assembly, are tight. They tend to come loose after sometime.
