Dave, Owning a fast blue GTS I have never experienced the problem.....;:>)
I'll stand corrected, I probably have noticed some minor surging at some some constant RPM low range at some point while riding. But, I learned a long time ago no machine is prefect, I've had a lot worse on other bikes. If you try real hard by holding a constant 2,000 or 3,000 in slow moving traffic I think you can make any motorcycle surge, especially when it has been tuned to meet environmental lean run mode. My solution is to simply drop or move up a gear to another rev range and not worry about it. The GTS performance has too many other pluses to continuously dwell on this slightest of flaws. All I have to do is check the wonderful gas mileage when I fill the tank and smile. I'll live with with it. It is a small price to pay for such great all round performance the GTS gives. Get out an blow the carbon out by running in triple digits for an afternoon to help clean out the injectors and forget about it. .
