Flat spots

Hi to all,
I have a 2010 bandit. Black naked. It has 8000k's on the clock, bought new in November last year.
Has anyone had any issue with A flat spot about 2500 - 3400 RPM.
I have a 2 Brothers slip on and use standard fuel.
Anyway seem's like there are a few people that know what's going on here, look forward to any response.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum jim.

I think a couple of the boy's have had that problem. If u have a look around u may find the thread.

Welcome.
That's a huge range for a flat spot. I'd be heading to a dyno if the dealer can't or won't cooperate. Seriously what other mods? These bikes are set up lean for emission complance.

I did with pipe and K@N .Not exactly in that range but close.Have a look (or you might Know ) to see what type of filter you have .
Paper or K@N and report back. I 'm thinking you have no power commander like me.

Welcome to the forum.

I know a lot of guys use and swear by the TFI box that Dale Walker sells, but I reckon the Power Commander is brilliant. I didn't have a flat spot, but more of snatchiness off the bottom end. Certainly smoothed everything out and was pretty well worth it. Power commander and tune came out to probably around 6-700ish tuned.

I was one of the early adopters of the power commander and seriously haven't had any issues other than an occassional FI light on a hot day which I reckon is the O2 bypass going out of range with the heat. No big one though.

welcome to the forum mate.

Where have you got to ozjimmy ? Got rid off that flat spot ?

Thanks for the heads up. I've been away. I've also clocked up another 1000k's over last weekend, I used better fuel and most of the flat spot and rough running have gone.
I was a little disappointed with the bike when I first started to open it up.
But I had a ride of a speed tripple on the same weekend. Now I'm very happy with the Bandit.javascript:emoticonp('')

One of my mates just bought a speed triple and reckons if i rode it i'd want to sell the 1250. Thoughts??

Hi there ozjimmy

All these fuel injection thingamajigs...make me happy to stay with the carbies on my K6 !

Welcome lad

I think the seating position is better on the Trumpy.
The Bandit has a punchy motor, (not more powerful) but it seems to work better. If you know what i mean?
The money you saved would fix any issues.
I'm still trying to get the hang of fuel injection.
