From day 1 i have been constantly irritated by the hunting/bucking/lurching at 2-3 thousand RPM on my ´14 GSA.
Keeping a constant throttle at any of those RPM was impossible.
It is stock apart from and official Akra Slip-on & GSAP.
I have tried premium fuels & full akra system (granted i could not remap as we have no such facilities here in Mallroca). Neither made a difference. The full system was too loud for me and i put the OEM collector back on.
City riding was a PITA and a constant battle trying to keep things smooth.
Last week i made contact with Mark from Cymarc after reading a post here on the forum.
He was very patient and after some discussion told me that an ´easy´RapidBike module would significantly smooth out the bike and make it run as intended.
So, today it arrived and after a quick install with my mechanic (unit simply connects to both lambda sensors without fiddling with the injectors) we went out for a test ride.
I have 30,000km on my bike and i would like to think i am ´in tune´ with it.
But after 500 meters from the garage to the traffic light, i will echo my first thoughts: IT IS LIKE A DIFFERENT bike!!!
Utterly smooth from 1000rpm in any gear, no hunting or hesitation and even when left in 1st with zero throttle - it will just carry on calmly and predictably without the weird chugga-chugga-chugga-hesitation it had before. Incredible.
Filtering in 2nd without rear brake or clutch ---- easy and glass smooth.
I will put more KM´s on and take it for some morning-time city commuting this week - but if the 100KM i put on today (solo & 2 up, low speed & highway riding) are anything to go by, this little module is going to bring many more happy KM´s!
Even my passenger (the mechanic who knows the bike & has ridden with me before) mentioned how smooth it is. THAT alone is a huge compliment.
A big thanks to Mark, Liam & Martin @ Cymarc for their support, great service and patience.
