Need some help here !!!
Brand new 2022 Moto 800xc, we have two, and one of the machines is really hard to feather the throttle. The other one is actually in the shop, it keeps stalling and randomly choking out. (it's not the fuel)
Anyway, this issues makes low speed maneuvering really difficult. nothing, nothing, .... nothing .... nothing ... BAM! You just did a three foot lunge into the tool box!
I think it's odd that it doesn't always do this. Low gear, high gear, 2whl, 4whl ..(hot or cold) doesn't seem to matter. Sometimes you can creep, somewhat, it is a CVT right? other times you need to just get off the machine and push it because it jack rabbits all over the place, really funny to watch though. I always have my foot hard on the brake when I am precision driving this thing to minimize the hop if it happens, then let up as applicable, of course.
We have had this problem since day one and there is about 450km on the bike now. Dealer said it's an ECU problem? Been waiting two months for a new one. Is that really the cause of this???
Ok, now here's the story. (Hold negative comments, sh!t happens to the best of us!)
The other day I was backing up our little yard trailer, (6ft old beat up utility trailer) slightly turned looking back, trailer on angle going into the spot in the bush just of the driveway nicely, just where we keep it. All was going good and then it happened. It lunged so hard it thew my 210lbs ass forward (though I was about to go over the bars) pushing me into full throttle backwards, jacked knifed the trailer and nearly tipped it over!!!
Luckily I was quick to grab the brake (rider instinct must of kicked in!)
or I would have hit my truck !! Even left a skid mark in the driveway!! Never thought I would ever whiskey throttle an ATV!!
