Hi Guys (and gals),

I know this is actually for the 1150GS, but seeing that my RT is a hybrid now... :-\

I've recently picked up an irritating issue with my 1150RT. When the engine is hot (normal operating temp) and cruising along, if I want to quickly open the throttle for overtaking or something, I don't have enough power (or as much as expected) and the revs redline. If I open it slowly, it does what it's supposed to. It's almost as if I'm double-clutching, but I'm not.  ???

Anybody had this before? Is it my throttle bodies? Or maybe the clutch?

I recently did the i-ABS bypass and apart from an aftermarket exhaust, everything is standard-ish.

Any help and/or advice is appreciated.  :thumleft:
