    Hesitant acceleration

    Hi,

    Just recently, when i've been coming home, i'll twist the throttle to accelerate. The bike then seems to hesitate for a short while (maybe 1/2 of a second), then accelerates as normal.

    Any ideas on what could be the problem?

    Some other things which may or may not be related:
    1. Starting about 2 months ago, the bike occasionally backfires at low rpm under deceleration.
    2. Hesitation seems worse at night, although I can't say for sure.
    3. Clutch has just started making a clicking noise when I pull it in. ( I doubt this has anything to do with the hesitation though.)

    Cheers,

    CFS

    Sounds like perhaps the mixture's a little out, hence the problem in colder conditions.

    Solution?

    Buy a fuel injected bugger. You're welcome

    I reckon WT is on the money- 'tis probably running lean in the cooler weather. Or could be maybe the airfilters clogged and she's running rich.

    Mine is hesitant to accelerate too - Lasts from about idle to redline though.
