Briefly: received the bike about 4 months in the past with 4,005 OTC. It is my 2nd F800GT, and the primary was a used ’13 with comparable miles, however no flat spot. This flat spot within the ’16 was current from the beginning for me–it’s not very dangerous however simply not linear in that vary. So from 2k to 4K RPM pull is sweet and linear. From 4-5K pull flattens out, however as mentioned picks up once more after about 5K in the identical gears. A knowledgable buddy thought it is appearing prefer it’s leaning out in that RPM vary. Did valve test, compression test, new plugs, new air filter and every little thing was high quality. I had an occasion at about 350 miles of using after getting the bike the place it was getting near empty (which means near the place it could swap to order the place miles in reserve begin counting up), bike was midway warmed up, when it all of a sudden died, and felt like no gasoline. I used to be solely 50y from a gasoline station, so began it up once more and it was sufficient to coast into the station then it died once more. After refill, so this was the 2nd refill for me, I have never had a difficulty w/ this stall out since that one time, and have one other 1250 miles on the bike since then. I believed on the time perhaps the gasoline pump was going out, or perhaps water within the tank. I put some HEET in and as I say, no points with stall since then, but in addition the primary 350mi had no points with stall out so perhaps that argues towards water settling within the tank laborious to say.
Anyway, curious when you have this particularly in a ’16 in case it is year-specific, however Euro 5 did not begin til ’17 at which level the went to ride-by-wire tech.
Some questions:
- Have there been any firmware updates which may impression the Engine Management Module?
- Have you ever skilled this, and in that case what fastened it if something?
- Every other ideas about what is perhaps the offender?
I’m now having the gasoline pump and filter changed because the bike is 8y/o and I plan to maintain it til completed using and received it for worth. Most likely a protracted shot it is concerned however I can think about totally different calls for on the pump associated to load/rpm would possibly manifest in a gasoline pump headed for failure, or not.
Thanks upfront in your insights! I really like this bike, #2 F800GT, modded excellent for me, downgrading from the brand new ’16 RT I have been using for the previous 7.5y and 54K miles. I wish to do away with this flat spot!
