hi everyone. I have a 08 street triple , just a couple of issues have arisen.
1. bad fuel economy
The bike has 30.000kms , dead standard - latest VIN derived map via tuneECU uploaded. Oil is good tyres are good. I ride 20kms a day average to and from work , i dont spend time warming up - just let her start idle for 30 seconds or so then baby it until warm nor spend too much time idling in traffic. I use 95RON fuel.
I only get 150kms out of a tank just as the low fuel light turns on.
Any ideas of what else I can look at ?
I keep seeing peoples economy online of similar stop-start riding and getting quite better results.
2. "catch" noise when taking off sometimes
Occasionally I feel a "catch" vibration/noise when taking off.
It can sometimes be felt thru the handlebars.
I cannot 100% confirm - but it MAY be related to a heavy stop beforehand.
Any ideas ? Brake pads catching or something?
thanks for any thoughts !
