Have had this before. Mine ended up being the dry surface between the master cylinder pin and the clutch lever bush. Clean both and lubricate the hole with a smear of grease.

Mine had the same, ran with them for a while but eventually replaced them with the oiled K&N

Grain silo's. We have the same sort of thing in Aus, a Silo art trail that we can follow thru remote towns in rural areas. The artwork is impressive.

Perfect!

Love the yellow color scheme Keygs, bike looks great. There's something magical about the outback aye.

Just a quick update, I sped up the rear rebound and did a few runs over the same section on TC2 as suggested above. It's definitely improved. I've got more rebound adjustment to play with so i'll do some more testing till i'm happy with it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

You're right about Tasmania, I toured it a few times on the Hyper. Definitely on the 'to go back to' list. At the moment, i'm more into exploring the Aussie outback, riding to spectate at the Finke Desert race is the next mission.

Thanks jrusell, your explanation is spot on and explains exactly what I'm feeling. I was not aware of the cam setup in the driveline. I did a few runs over the corrugated gravel rd this afternoon and instead of holding a steady throttle, i wound it on. The engine revs cleanly and there is no...

That pic is just an example and not my particular rd but it's the same, it's quite common for a gravel/dirt rd to look like that here. Especially in high traffic areas. They are not whoops like an mx track, they are very shallow 'waves' close together. We call them corrugations but I think it...

It's real easy to remove the ABS switch, it's just replaces the fuse. I'll try that but I only installed this switch setup a few weeks ago. I've had this stuttering from day one, I just accepted it thinking it's normal to shaft drive bikes. Bike has no clutch switch mod and it hasn't been...

Another thought is the Gen1 clutch spring issue? My bike does have the well known shudder that gets reported about these clutch baskets.........

Sierra1, It's interesting that you mention shaft drive slap as an issue on the RT, I wonder if that is what I am experiencing. When my bike is on the center stand in neutral, the drive shaft has a bit of forward/backward play but I it feels normal, not excessive. Is there a way of testing this...

Thanks Sierra1, it's definitely not on-off throttle on my part. There is a corrugated hill I ride up fairly often and it does it every time, as I'm accelerating up the hill over the corrugations the bike stutters like the traction control is activating. Accelerating more at this point does...

Thanks gunslinger, battery terminals are tight and i've looked over most of the electrical connections but i'll keep digging. I'm assuming this is not normal then. Edit: My initial thoughts were that it was a trait of the shaft drive. Not sure.

Hi All, first question here so i'm hoping it's in the right place. I'm not sure that this is an issue, maybe just a characteristic of this bike. When I ride offroad, I always turn the TCS off. Every time I ride over corrugations, braking bumps or even small pot holes with the TCS turned off...
