I much prefer the fuel injected bikes over the carbs. When the carbs are one hundred % you are good but it seems they don't stay 100% for long. Also the ethanol gas seems mess with the carbs.
I have to think this is chain tension first and throttle adjustment and injection mapping second. Could be wrong.
I certainly does sound like something isn't at all as it should be. You know it's strange (or not) but you can have two identical bikes and one will just run better then the other. I've had three different Honda Magna bikes and the first one was just a cut above the other two.
I am also happiest with bikes which are belt driven. I'd rather have a belt over a chain or shaft. I've found some of the shaft drives to snatch worse then the chain driven bikes. Less oil and mess with a shaft but I don't see it as a significant plus on a motorcycle. Maybe the very largest bikes should be shaft driven (a Wing for example).
Hope you get the issues resolved because it sounds like it would be annoying as it is. We ride for fun and when things aren't right it detracts from the experience.
