hi there,
I was riding the other day and twisted the throttle a bit (like one often does..) and i felt a delay in acceleration. After a second it accelerated fine but there was obvious delay. Now I know that my chain and sprockets need replacement so this might have something to do with it but I would not guess that it would result in such a delay all of the sudden.
So before I go to the garage to change my chain and sprockets I thought maybe someone here had similar experience and can share some thoughts. I hope its just the chain impacting the clutch which in turn is not being fully disengaged somehow but my mechanical knowledge is similar to that of a 2 y.o. so any input is highly appreciated.
some additional info: the bike has about 26k miles and just had a small service (oil, brake fluid etc) I also changed the rear tire to a 190/55 (instead of 180/60 - no issues with the DTC which is set to "1").
thanks in advance
