'Twas a common note among the reviewers during the 01' & 02' reviews of the bike. I haven't seen any reviews post 2002 model year. If I turn my F4i into a racebike in 2009 (yeah, right) then I may get a custom map for it.

 

I've noticed the same thing too, from the time I open the throttle until the engine revs it's like 1/2 of a second. I also noticed that (probably because I'm fat at 230lbs) in first gear from a stop when I let out the clutch all the way the bike really bogs down. I have to play with the clutch and keep it at or above 6k in order to really start going if I take off quick. If I let the clutch out quickly and give it full throttle when it's all the way out it bogs down and makes like a machine gun noise, sounds maybe like a baseball card in the spokes of a bicycle. I think I just need to lose 40 lbs.

Next spring I'm getting a PCIII and a Micron blue/black slip on maybe that will help with low end power and hopefully by them I'll be 200lbs again. I quit drinking for REAL this time! haha

 

That's called lugging the engine. Practice your clutch control by riding really slow...less than 5 mph in a parking lot, zero throttle. Keith Code talks about it in this article.

 

Mine has the "notchy feeling"..Got better with the slip-on but came back with the bmc filter..Got a pcIII coming(saturday).That should help.But to make sure im having a custom tune done after i get it installed(dyno tune in a week or two).

Here is a link to a custom F4i map(yoshi slip-on,stock filter,pump gas):

In looking at my map, fuel is taken out by a few clicks pretty much across the board...some places more than other. Isn't that odd considering my slip-on and K&N air filter? I would think it would need more gas. Can someone take a look at their map and tell me if it's adding or removing fuel?

 

what exactly is the accelorator pump feature, I have a PCIIIusb and haven't heard of it.

Holy crap why do people do that? I can read that for like 1minute and my eyes hurt. Now I'm looking around my room and I see bright white text all over. blah

 

Lost me dude. So you're saying that the article is of no value to you????

 

No, not at all. It's the bright white text on the black background. It hurts my eyes I had to copy and past it into word to be able to read it. After trying to read it just for a little bit I was getting a headache and when I looked away all I saw was bright white lights everywhere. lol Good article! =)
