748 - Sluggish After Approx A Mile In Then Clears Itself - Baffling???

  1. Hello

    I have a different 748 now , that has a very odd quirk - I am baffled - but most of the time when I set off the bike is running fine (having started ok with no issues) but then normally about a mile in the bike starts to cough and sputter - It probably lasts a about a minute or 2 then picks up - and from then on the bike is fine - ? any ideas are greatly appreciated - it is the 2000 model with termogninis and a power commander - 4500 miles.
    (I have checked other threads but not seen anything like this ok)
    many thanks
    rich

  2. Fuel filter been changed recently? Trapped fuel line?

    Hello & welcome BTW.
     
  3. If the same thing is happening consistently, then possibly air temperature sensor related. The way the connector is situated it has a habit of retaining water and connector terminals can become corroded particularly if the rubber boot is perished.
