Nasty Snatch
Pillow:
My 07 has a bit of a on/ off thing going on, just off of idle. I've had a Shudabeen flash, which has made the bike almost perfectly fuelled. It's just the low speed snatchiness.
Is it possible the secondary butterflies have been removed, and their loss is responsible for my low speed fuelling woes? Is there a way to tell if they are present, without stripping the bike down?
Thoughts? Advice?
Many thanks chaps, Nick

Do you have much free play in the throttle? That can result in snatch too. I prefer my throttle tight - with relatively no free play. Makes the off/on transitions smoother (to me).

No such thing. You must have a 2008 model (first model year).

As Chi pointed out, this is almost always due to throttle play needing to be adjusted. It takes only about 60 seconds to do. I find it needs adjustment at least every few years.

You shouldn't have the bike flashed if the secondaries are removed.... controlling the secondary butterflies is 95% of what the flash does. If the flies were removed, you would notice almost no difference before and after the flash... otherwise, the change is dramatic.

You do know there are other countries ... right? ;)
OP hasn't given a location and some places did indeed get 07 models.
