Yep, I agree. Gotta say all DL1000's I've ridden including mine are ok moving off at 1500rpm, which is useful in heavy traffic areas. She trickles along clutch fully engaged at those revs no problem. No need to rev it unless you are in a hurry. If you're bike is out of tune badly, then that's a different story as GF indicates. I don't have a PC111 and she runs smooth as silk.
Throttle out of slow 2nd gear corners (sensitivity)
Ok, so I have been a lurker here for a few months now and have decided to get thoughts on this question.
Is there any way to deal with low RPM surge that occurs above idle, but below the 3500 rpm stumbling area of the rpm range. Asking, because this bike is definately throttle sensitive and I am getting smoother and smoother, but at times cannot seem to keep it smooth when coming out of corners without a slight surge. It is mainly when I am taking a 2nd gear turn and beginning to apply throttle as I go through the corner. I have a PC III (currently using Dynojets stock map), tips cut out of the exhaust, secondary's are unknown at this point (bike is still new to me).
Thanks, and have found this site hugely informative, so thanks for everyone's feedback.

Many posts with a technical bent - here is one around technique that I use.
Modern fuel injected bikes are super senstive to throttle even at low revs so the challenge is to not twist the throttle / have your elbow wobble when you go over a bump etc.
I simply rest my index and middle fingers, on the brake lever at the same time (in the normal manner for covering the brake).
This gives an easy way of not twisting the throttle because your whole hand has now got a fixed reference.
Works for me.

To answer your question when I got my PCIII my local Suzuki shop--Dynotune certified--did a very basic clean up of the map that came with the module. The charge was minimal, they did put it on the dyno, and the change it made in the bike was profound. They also had a complete remap they would do to maximize the performance of the bike--that would cost about $300.00.
I was happy with the Strom's rideability until her untimely death on Good Friday (God hates me).
I also have to give another "Bravo!!" to Suzuki City in Biloxi, Mississippi. The owner--Mike--is a class act. If you are within riding distance of his shop I highly recommend him. I have said this before--but given the truly awful reputation of so many bike shops today when you find a good one it is worth letting everybody know.
I hope you love your 'Strom as much as I did mine. Have fun!! Ride her like you stole her!!

Thanks agrippa. I appreciate the information. What happened on Good Friday? Obviously you are still here so God can't hate you THAT much! :hurray:To answer your question when I got my PCIII my local Suzuki shop--Dynotune certified--did a very basic clean up of the map that came with the module.

T-boned a Toyota on my 'Strom.
My comment was very much tongue-in-cheek.

Sometimes nuance is lost in text. Sorry for the misread.
