I own a 2011 Burgman 650 Exec, and have a question about throttle response while coming to a stop, or moving along in slow speed traffic where just a small amount of throttle is needed.
I've had this bike for a year now, and have only 2200 miles on her. I'm not complaining about this, but it's pretty hard for me to control the bike's quick response to small throttle inputs from me.
I like that I don't need to use my brakes much in normal slowing down situations, but when needing to add a small amount of throttle to adjust my speed, I feel like I did when learning to drive the stick-driven Chevy when I was 16...the the bike just lurches forward or brakes with minimal throttle application.
This B650Exec is the first scooter I've owned, and I've been trying to get used to the differences between a clutch lever controlled engagement of the final drive on the cruiser-style bikes I've had up until now, and the tranny and final drive on my Burgman.
I'm pretty sure many of your 650 owners here know what I'm talking about, and I was wondering if there's anything I can do or have done to make my Burgman a little less "jumpy", or do I just keep "getting used" to it.
Thanks.
