Still getting used to our C650GT (new, 2016). I have the habit of stopping on the lawn, on the back side of the mail box, to check the mail when I come home. Works fine with my F650 GS, but this new bike won't accelerate on the lawn. Even very gentle throttle, it kicks out. I suspect the stability control thing is working as it thinks it should. But this is way more aggressive then I would want.
I found a thing in the manual that shows how to override the control. I did the hocus pocus thing they wanted, finally got the panel to tell me the control was in override. I took off across the lawn to try it, 50 feet later, it was back to cutting out. I can not determine is the engine is stopping by itself, or if the antilock brakes are making it stop. It does not die completely, but it will lose speed rapidly.
Ideas?
