Hello,
Just got a new Strom 1k, generally loving the bike however, the low speed throttle response is awful, it basically feels like an on/off switch with no fine control.
On low speed manoeuvres, mini roundabouts or tight corners, the throttle is impossibly abrupt. The slightest closing of the throttle (and I do mean the most minute of backing off), and it’s like applying the brakes. This is annoying, or potentially dangerous at worst, I have to slip the clutch to varying degrees to get round this.
I’m struggling to accept that Suzuki couldn’t fix this before the bike was released for sale, clearly the test ride bit of the development should have flagged this as a problem. I’m reluctant to retro fit any electronic widget and risk my warranty, is there any solution that wouldn’t risk invalidating the warranty ?, or is low speed clutch slipping going to be the price to pay for an otherwise good bike !
