So, I'm just about to hit the first service mark (currently at 900km) and I have noticed an odd behaviour from the Sled:
Every once is a while the RPM's will suddenly drop, like its misfired. I have been trying to pay attention to when it happens and so far I feel like its usually when the bike is cold...within the first 5 minutes of riding and usually on a downshift or when engine braking.
Could be it just needs a slight adjustment to the map and will be remedied with the first service, but I thought I'd see if this was an issue others have experienced.
Also wondering if the engine "wakes up" after the first service? I personally feel like the engine definitely has more to offer, but is restricted somehow. I buddy of mine had this experience on a Vstrom 1000... Complained to the dealer on how the bike didn't feel like a 1000, to which the dealer said "wait until the first service...it'll wake up"....which it did apparently.
Anyways, just curious... Still love the bike regardless
