I just bought a new super TT and have put on 970 miles. This is my first roadbike and i am quite impressed so far. However, when making low speed maneuvers in 1st gear it wants to lurch and is difficult to handle without slipping the clutch. Is this normal or does it need an adjustment? I did take it in this week for the 1K inspection and they replaced the intake seals because it was occasionally missing or backfiring when i would crack the throttle at low rpm,s. I rode it home from the dealer and the misfire seems to be resolved, but it still wants to lurch in 1st gear. Any advice?

Lurching at low RPM is the nature of the beast. My bike will lurch if I'm under 2000 rpm with no throttle input. But, you learn how to keep the bike happy after a while. Hint: it ain't made for goin slow... ; )


Its an unbalanced 1200cc, 45deg, single crank-pin, Harley Motor that has been warmed up to a very high state of tune. Its got a loopy cam, high compression, and all kinds of piss and vinegar. Think of it as an untamed wild mustang. It aint no prancing horse and it ain't no throughbred - its a mean SOB that will bite and kick and screw every philly from here to Beartooth Pass.

: ) Glad the dealer got those seals fixed. Enjoy the bike!

You might want to consider a TPS reset once you get a couple of thousand miles on the bike. Also checkout ECMSPY.

No doubt about it. Gotta slip the clutch at low speed for tight maneuvering.

That said, be sure to check and adjust the primary chain tension. It will wear in the tensioner shoe during the first 1K miles and get pretty darn loose.

The clutch is your ally. Make friends with your inner friction-zone (wait, that sounds dirty).
