Although I haven't actually used it much, I don't find the hill start assist particularly smooth on take off. It could be my technique of course.
As I open the throttle to set off and start letting the clutch out I can still feel the brakes biting and the revs start to drop and I feel as if I'm going to stall.
As a result I then give it a bit more revs. The problem is I then just take off far quicker than I want to, in a surge, needing to pull the clutch back in to calm the bike down a bit.
I'm pretty sure I'll perfect this eventually but at present I'm really only trying this on slight slopes. Heaven help me when I actually try it on a hill. I'll be doing a wheelie!
Has anyone had similar experiences as a new owner like myself?
