Is a 450 supposed to have a throttle delay?

Question

I just bought a RMZ450, and I took it around my neighbor hood, and noticed that there was at least a second delay between the time I would twist the throttle to when the rear wheel would hook up.

I'm just wondering if this is normal in a 4 stroker, I was riding 2 strokers and the throttle was instant, and now there is a delay.

Also the engine was cold and fairly hard to start, could this have contributed to the throttle delay?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes,probably.

Answer 2

mhh sounds like a bit of bogging to me

do you know if the carb is jetted right?

also it will delay if your engine is cold

so warm your bike up for a good 15 mins just taken it easy then try to hit the throttle and see if it  does it

email if you want more info

Answer 3
