Got myself a Stallions CT400 last Friday and basically very happy with it. Simple, easy to drive and power is just what you would expect from the engine. Seems like a great bike for what I got it for.
Only odd thing I noticed so far is a “sticky” throttle. When driving and changing gears, the engine keeps the rpm up while you turn of the gas to switch gears. It will last maybe a second or less, but it is noticeable when changing gears or when just turning off the gas to use engine brake. The first second or less the engine still pulls before the throttle is really turned off and you get normal engine brake. Mechanically the throttle is releasing normally both in the handle bar and in the EFI body, so I’m guessing it has something to do with the EFI controller that maybe still providing fuel to the engine. Also the check-the-engine red warning light in the dashboard is very slightly illuminated during normal use. Not bright as when you turn the ignition on and not yet start the engine, just a small glow that one can only see in dark. Didn’t have time to ask the dealer yet about this as I’m travelling now, but will ask.
Meanwhile, did anyone else experience the same sticky throttle issue and have any fix for it?
