Hi guys, I am new to this forum and got my Hypermotard in May and have been a happy rider since. The bike is fun. But I am concerned about the Power delivery of the bike...
I ve got only 860 Km on it and have been riding it by the book so far... I mean never exceeding 5500-6000 rpm, avoiding harsh accelerations and so on.
In the beginning the bike responded to throttle very good, I even noticed that even by a small opening of the throttle the bike was tending to do wheelies... The torque was awesome... now it is a bit differet. I feel like the engine has got more "elastic", it goes up to 5000-6000 rpm quit fast but the torque seems to be a bit lower... wheelies are not there any more.
I weigh around 98 kg but have not gained nor dropped any weight since the day when I bought the bike so it has nothing to do with that. I put Zard Penta slip ons on it a week ago or so, but the power drop trend has started earlier... so I am very confused. Is there something wrong with the bike or its just me getting used to the bike?
I am planning to take it to the dealer soon for 1000 Km check but don't know whether it will help. I leave in Russia, St.Petersburg and the dealer doesn't have the Dyno so I can't measure the torqe and power delivery.
Any ideas on what it could be?
Thanks.
