Thanks Jeff...yes, that's what I'd call surging. What I and others are experiencing is throttle response hesitation...two entirely different EFI glitches...my GTS does not surge...never has...let's make sure we're talking about the same thing on the list in future...

"on-off" feeling. It gave me the impression that the EFI was sending fuel then not,then sending fuel, then not.....

Chain tension can make it worse as you said. Once lower or higher than the "surge" rpm mine's fine, it only occurs in the one spot. It's really not that bad, just annoying when caught in very slow moving traffic" It's when I either try to maintain that certain low rpm or gradually get to it that it occurs and it's a surge not a hesitation in my book. Hesitation would be the more abrupt application of throttle and the FI having a small "lag" in responding to the quick change. Best way I can describe the behavior of mine.

I have that initial hesitation upon gently rolling on the throttle from low revs and from what I've read this is fairly common on a lot of FI motorcycles. What happens is you roll the throttle on a little to where you normally would expect a gentle response, nothing happens, you roll a fraction more, nothing happens, then a fraction more and it takes off. Until you get used to the throttle control you often tend to roll on too quickly after the initial hesitation causing the bike to lunge forward. I don't consider it to be a significant annoyance now that I'm familiar with it and I couldn't really imagine anyone getting as bothered over it as many on the list seem to be, unless it were true "surging". So what is it?...surging or hesitation?...will someone with bad surging please describe the symptoms again in detail...
