Throttle Response

[kopfjager]

You guys with new Duke 690's. Does the throttle (power) roll on when you crack it, like an old 4barrel carb motor, where the power starts to come up, then bang it's off.

Or does it come on instantly?

Yup, with the stock gearing the bike doesnt wake up until 4K rpms. Drop a tooth in the front.

Thanks for the advice.

Fuel Map setting #3 will also give you another 1000 rpm lower in the range without all the jerking and chunkiness. (its optimized for a wider mid range powerband)

I tend to have the smoothest experience with #3 for Commuting around town, #2 for higher speed weekend twisty strafing on the weekends, and #1 in rain/snow/ice. (I am running the stock throttle tube and final drive gearing 15-40, I have experimented with the 14T from drive sprocket)

Map #1 : retards the power by 40% or more over the whole powerband
Map #2 : Provides more top end power above beginning 4-5Krpms peaking at 7Krpms
Map #3 : A wider, smoother powerspread 3-7K rpms, peaking at around 5Krpms

I really need to move this rotary Mapping switch near the ignition key for easier access!.(winter project)
