Cause you are blipping the throttle like a carbed engine. If you roll the throttle it won't stall. Also check your idle, if it is less then 1000rpm then bump it back up to 1000-1050 rpm. A common occurance is for an HD tech to set the idle at 800-900 like its a sporty or something similar. | ||

I concur with checking the idle. | ||

Mikel, How would you describe rolling? Sometimes when I'm blipping the throttle pm my 2001 x1, it seems "soft" at the very bottom. If I blip it too low, it sort of backfires or acts like its flooded almost. Do I just change the way I blip? | ||

I would raise the idle a little... | ||

Just thought I'd mention this. I was aware of it on my previous bikes but I never saw the switch on my XB anywhere and I didnt' think it had it. If the bike is running and in gear (with clutch in) and kickstand down and you start to let the clutch out, the bike will stall do to the kickstand being down. This is a protection device so you don't take off with the kickstand down. I was just sitting there and couldnt figure out why if I started to let the clutch out at all it would stall. I was happy when I found the problem wasn't really a problem at all, Just my stupidity. | ||

When you "blip" the throttle you give it a quick short twist. Like you would with a carbed engine. Rolling the throttle is just that, you roll it on smoothly and slowly, not quick and sudden. On a carbed bike, it will still take the motor a second to gulp in that extra air and pull the extra fuel, on a fuel injected bike the TPS takes over and gives it a great blast of fuel even though the motor isn't fully pulling in that much air yet. That sudden flooding is the stumble and stall that occurs. If you are smooth and even on take off with the throttle or atleast get the motor up on the revs above idle it can deal with a WOT whacking, or a sudden twist of throttle. |
