If the bike idles fine in neutral, and this only occurs when you down shift from 3rd to 2nd. I don't know. Clutch fluid looking good ? Is the bike cold ? ECU ?

 

[bigrob380]

clutch fluid fine sometimes the bike is cold sometimes been riding the bike for a hour or two and yes it does it on 3rd down to 2nd

 

[dadofthree]

I haven't heard of this happening before, if you're certain there's no operator issue, you might be looking at an ECU problem or map issue ...

 

[dadofthree]

I should have also asked you about mods and maintenance ...

 

[bigrob380]

all stock no mods

 

[dadofthree]

I really don't know. It's a bad time to ask all the experts are in bed drunk, I mean asleep and that leaves you with the likes of me.

I guess I would have to see if it did the same thing if I left it in third gear and pulled the clutch in and came to a stop. I don't think you could be getting on the kickstand switch, or accidently hitting the killswitch.

I know it doesn't help but it's always one or more of three things; fuel, air, or fire.

IMHO, since it happens when you are shifting you may be bumping the kickstand and the kickstand switch is shutting you down. Check the switch closely and make sure your kickstand is making full contact with it.

Like has been said above are possibilities. I have never heard of this happening.

You could try adjusting the idle up a bit (or putting on a little of the fast idle lever) and see if it still does it.
You may have a low speed miss, or idling too low.

hmmm... Dr. House, you in here... we need your help!!!

 

[Powers739]

What Mike said, you need to adjust your idle... it's too low...

Let us know what you find out...

 

[99'busa]

what is idle set at?
have you tried slowing down to a stop and NOT downshifting first?

 

[99'busa]

btw

 

[StromBusa]

Crap gas?

 

[djsin]

stop downshifting blow those lights and give her all the gas she's got...lol

 

[djsin]

if its cold outside it may need more fuel i would def turn up the idle
