Hi,
I've had my first MV, an F3 800, a couple of weeks, and getting familiar with it whilst running in.
The first 300 miles have been tantalising foreplay, as I'm restricted to no more than 6K rpm, but I've already experienced enough to know I love the bike.
With various commitments, I've been limited in time available to run the bike in, so took today off work with the aim to get the bike from 199 miles to 300 so I can start using more revs (9K!) - and mission accomplished as the odometer now shows 301!
So far, I'm riding the bike in the 'relaxed style' as advised in the manual, so I have it in Rain mode, and I'm not using the quick shifter.
As I've become more comfortable with the bike and less hesitant with my simultaneous clutch in / roll-off, up change, simultaneous roll-on / clutch release. At the same time, I notice that I'm sometimes getting a rev flare on upshifts, unless I make the change ever-so-slightly more slowly. It's as if the clutch bite point is higher, so I roll on the gas before the clutch is catching to offset the revs, ...or maybe because if I'm slightly quicker in my changes, the revs aren't dying away quickly enough before I disengage the clutch - which sounds like it would be a fuelling issue (I'm aware that the bikes had severe fuelling issues, and I know these were 'fixed'). If I change up slightly more slowly, it's all fine.
Of course, this becomes less important once I start using the quick shifter, but I'm interested if this is an overrun of revs that is a known problem - either fuelling or maybe the throttle return spring I've read about.
Is what I describe an ongoing fuelling issue? Thanks.
