Hello,
I have a new 2022 800XC.
Picked it up this past Tuesday. I have about 3.5hrs of operating time and have noticed a strange occurrence over the past few times I have rode the bike (all riding to this point has been on pavement as I am breaking in the motor for the first 3-5 hours in on-road conditions). The oddity I am experiencing is as follows:
From a dead stop, when taking off under very light throttle - the bike will start to move and then for just a brief moment (like a quarter of a second or less), there is a pause and then the bike resumes normal accel. Its similar to running a machine on an almost empty gas tank, where the fuel supply is cut off momentarily and then returns once the fuel swishes back and continues feeding the gas line (my gas tank is full).
After that initial pause the acceleration is normal at all RPMs (there is no delay, pause or interrupted power delivery after the initial take off one as described).
The situation only happens immediately following take off when applying light throttle. From a full stop but under harder accel I can still hear/feel the slight cut off but its virtually unperceptable though still there even but very faint and hardly noticeable.
Is this normal, or a symptom of the EVAP system maybe?
By all other accounts the bike runs perfectly.
At a loss as to what this could be - and wondering if the bike needs to have the ECU re-flashed, or could this be a sign of a bad or faulty TPS?
