    Hey guys new here. I tried searching and couldn’t find anything related to this issue. I have a 09 speed triple no aftermarket parts. Just filled up my bike went for a ride I opened it up on the highway everything was fine. Got back into town I started noiticing very sluggish throttle response (like it’s bowgging down) under 3000 Rpm. Anything under that it’s sluggish and doesn’t want to pick up. Like zero acceleration, have to play the clutch just to get it up to that. Once it hits 3000 though she rides fine. I tried the 12 minute tune, didn’t help. Any help appreciated

    Do you think this could be related to when you filled up with fuel?
    Poor fuel, contamination, was it raining heavy causing water getting into the tank?

    I have a 2010 Speed Triple and use Red-X quite often, an additive to keep the fuel system clean, it also helps condition old fuel, you could try putting an above normal concentration in to eliminate the fuel element

    If you ride on or near a dirty area of road causing air filter blockage, so possibly cleaning/replacing the air filter

    If spark plugs are old, check and replace

    If you have access to an OBD2 cable and use TuneECU on an Android phone or use a laptop, this can reveal any imbalance between the throttle bodies

    But I think it is fuel related
