Please hear me out, because I know some people may think they know the answer to this question without reading my explanation.
I am fully aware that the Ninja 250R is a smaller bike and the engine is only 250cc; it is only capable of so much. However, I have been noticing some throttle lag that I don't remember being there when I first purchased the bike. Here's what happens:
I shift into neutral (since I have the problem in neutral and it is not engaging any gears at all, it leads me to believe there may be something mechanically wrong)
*** From an idle of about 1,000 RPMs, I give the throttle a slow 1/4 turn to reach about 6,000 RPMs, leading me to believe there is nothing wrong...
*** Next, I give the throttle a very fast 1/4 (again, from neutral), but there is a delayed response for the engine to open up and rev to 6,000 RPMs. Its almost as if something is "stuck" and prevent the throttle from opening up with the motion of the throttle grip. I can only describe it as feeling like the cable is made out of rubber, and it takes some time for the cable to catch up with the throttle's manipulation.
*** It seems to only happen in the low 1,000-4,000 RPM range, as opening up the throttle very fast at higher RPMs does not produce an throttle lag. Mostly from idle.
I apologize if I did not use all of the correct terminology. Also, if you have any questions or would like me to elaborate further, please let me know. I try to be as descriptive as possible, but its different if you're not the one actually experiencing it.
Does anyone have the same problem or know what this could be caused by?
Thank you,
