Just wondering, is there any differences between the bikes engine mods? Exhaust, ECU flash, etc?rotortech71 said:Just wanted to revive this thread to see if there was anything new to share on the progress of the mod to the clutch basket. Over the last few months, I've kind of trained myself to nurse the throttle through the 3000 rpm range to reduce this shudder. I'm still bothered a little by it, but was starting to forget it, until yesterday!!! Yesterday I swapped bikes with another S10 owner for about 30 miles or so. Both bikes have about 4000 miles on them. This vibration is practically non existent on his bike. The moment I accelerated away from a stop on his bike, I immediately yelled "CRAP, NO WAY!" in my helmet, because his bike was so much smoother through 3000 rpm, and up through the rest of the RPM range as well. This fully explains why some people agree with this thread, and some don't. This issue exists with varying degrees of severity, and as I discovered yesterday, some are fortunate enough to wind up with bikes that don't do it at all.
To add insult to injury, when we swapped back, he looked at me kind of funny and said, "your engine feels kind of harsh, especially in the 2000 to 4000 range." ::010::
I still love my bike though...
Very interesting you felt such a significant difference between the 2 bikes. Someone like Jaxon has ridden maybe dozens of Super Teneres. I'd love for him to chime in about the subject.
