I am a new C109RT owner as of November 09. I just made it to 600 miles and ready for my first service. Already dealt with oil perking. I advanced from a C50 to this beast, and I love it. My question to all you veteran 109 owners is..... It feels like I am lugging the engine all the time. Any crusing speed any gear and a slight turn of the throttle and it feels like its lugging. Even at 80 mph 5th gear the whole bike shutters and vibrates until speed is not increasing. The dealer says its just the characteristics of this bike. Any and all feedback would be appreciated.:dontknow:

I had something similar with mine but not as bad it sounds. I was running lean so I added a fuel injection controller. I added a Bully and this solved the issue for me.

:congrats:I've put 3,000 miles on mine and does about the same. It likes to cruise around 80 plus but that's not always possible. When I can I'm going to add a Bully controller, pipes and intake system, some say this will help. It really doesn't bother me that much though, I like feeling the POWER!

This motor is a high rever. it doesn't like to "lug" along.

I've had mine for over 2 years and 8000 miles. I don't have this problem. I keep it pretty wound up in terms of rpms vs ground speed. Push the bike before you shift. You can easily go 60--70 in 4th gear.

I've been on my C since November. It took me a month to figure out that this monster likes to roll through on a slightly higher RPM than my previous rides. I really notice it in gears 1-3. By the time I get to the top end it's pretty smooth. If I don't pay attention to the shifts down low I can get a pretty heavy "shudder" from the engine.
I'm thinking about investing in the bully controller from g-man if I can raise some cash.
