| Annettes SPS had poor running at low rpm and a very jerky pick up as you opened the trottle from low rpm in corners. The basic set up was adjusted by different people and a new throttle position switch was fitted, the problem although less severe was still there. I investigated a noisy clutch and discovered the flywheel had come loose, refitted the flywheel and the bike is so much better at low rpm (i think the crank was wobbling and the timing reference sensors were not giving accurate signals). I have a 998R and although the R has loads more power than the sps it does not have the manic hit of the sps from 5000rpm. Everytime I borrow annettes bike I cannot believe how much fun it is to ride, I defy anyone to ride an SPS and not ride like a loon (Annette loves the acceleration in 2nd and 3rd gear when it hits the real power). The only drawback is if you wheely on the throttle in first it just wants to flip you! not that I am any good at wheelies but the bike just makes you do it!!
The set up is JHP under tank filter and matching chip.
