Hi Guys,
my V did something a little worrying today.
while taking off from a stop, I turned the throttle to full, and the bike accelerated to ~20kmh, and then started shuddering, with acceleration happening really really slowly. (unfortunate really, as I had just finnished splitting.
It felt kinda like I had either lost a phase, or the encoder was reporting an inaccurate rotor position and the MC was going in and out of current limit (hardware enforced, not the usual smooth software enforced current limit).
I pulled over and turned the bike on and off, and now its back to normal, as if it had never happened.
I'm running latest software, but I have no charger.
As I understand it, with the latest software, the charger prompts the display to show warning lights.
My question is, has anyone else ever encountered shuddering and poor acceleration before?
was it a precursor for another failure, or just a one off quirk?
Matt
Mine did that once, but it was on take off, NOT after I was already underway. I stopped, shut it off, and started it again, never happened again. Almost felt like a belt slipping or something and would not punch up to speed.
Computers are funny animals.
did any warning lights come up when yours acted up (like CAN bus errors?)
my bike is behaving normally again, so it may be a one off, but I bought a spare MC just in case.
