Hey guys,
I purchased a 2019 R1250 RT this past February. 7,600 miles so far and my wife & I love it. We just got home from 3 days of riding in the mountains of NC, TN and KY. I noticed a few times that the bike would loose power when accelerating out of corners going uphill. Have not had this happen prior to this trip. I was 2-up, ride mode set at ROAD, suspension set on AUTO/ROAD, riding somewhat aggressive but nothing crazy at all. Each time it happened it was coming out of an uphill corner and rolling on throttle. 2nd gear, revs at 4000-4500 and rolling on smooth and steady. Bike seemed to stumble/jerk a few times and gradually power would come back.
My concern is it felt like (what I would imagine) stripped splines jumping teeth. But I'm thinking maybe the DTC/ASC was engaging? I read that there is an incline sensor in the system. I really don't think I was riding aggressive enough where the system should have engaged but maybe ROAD mode is more sensitive than I thought. Set it to DYNAMIC on the way home today and no issues. But we weren't on the same types of roads as yesterday. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? My 2009 GSA doesn't have DTC/ASC so this is new to me. Bike is under warranty but wanted some feedback before calling the dealer. Also noticed the last time it cut out there was no DTC/ASC light on dash. And have noticed a few times over the past few weeks that I will get a random flicker of the DTC/ASC light on the dash. But read that the system will do that when adjusting to certain situations.
Anyone with Shiftcams or Wetheads experience this?
