muffs11 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Need help Any of you R6 owners experienced problems maintaining a constant speed,eg 60mph ? My bike seems to spike/surge when i try to, it seems to me as if its missing but have just had a service and the bike dealer said its common with the R6. The bike is very smooth when accelerating but maintaing a constant is impossible without power surges, any suggestions would be f*@king brilliant!!!

muffs11 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 The bloke who did my service checked over everything and even he was stumped for a cause to the problem, maybe need bigger fuel filter or ???????

Boozehound Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 It's nearly impossible to maintain a constant speed on my R6 but I don't get any surging. More that, on a constant throttle at lowish revs, it just wants to accelerate all the time. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 That's the drawback with these middleweight high revving bikes. Bottom line....to sustain cruising speeds you need torque, and those type of bikes don't have any! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make sense? seems like its the norm on these type of bikes, and yes it describes mine to a "t" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
