2011 Spyder RT Hesitation Running Down The Road

[Aggiehusky140]

I have a 2011 Spyder RT SE5 that I just got a month ago and took it in to the dealer for th 12K checkup and they went all over it new plugs, oil change and all that goes with that. It ran better before they worked on it so I took it back and they then replace the rubber hoses and that helped a lot but when you are running down the road at between 62 and 68 mph it has a hesitation that comes and goes but its there the biggest part of the time. If you get above 75 then you don't notice it. Does anyone that this problem or have a answer for my problem. I love the bike but hate the foot heat and this hesitation.

The 998 RT doesn't have the "gittyap and go" that your RS, ST or your newer 1330 RT have. I shift from 4th gear to 5th gear around 70 to 75 MPH (which is just about 6000 RPMs at the time) on my 2013 RT. I don't know if this answer helps or not, but it might. Oh....I might add that I have the semi-automatic versus manual.
I honestly think it is normal what you're experiencing.

As far as the foot heat? Welcome to the club.
