I am having a problem with my XB9S now. When I crank the throttle, there seams to be a slow response and it feels sluggish while accelerating. The engine is not revving up as quickly as it should. This is especially noticeable after up shifting. What could cause this? It does not feel like the clutch is slipping. Maybe there is something wrong with the throttle cable. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

clean your air filter: ) also check to see if your spark plugs or wires have came loose

That's two things I did not even think of. Do you really think it is something that simple? Thanks for the help.

Bump. I just want to make sure that this is the general consensus. I am due for the 7,500 mile service including the air filter, etc. Thanks DJ and anyone else that helps.

It can be just that simple.
It's where I'd start.
Are you taking it in for the check up soon.
Or are you doing it yourself.
If you're taking it in just make sure and tell the tech what's up.
