I've recently got my R400 on the road and have just come back form 1000 miles in France so have had a real chance to get used to it.
Aside from the normal clonks, whines and clatters in the drivetrain (which I'm pretty familiar with from a previous car) there is one issue which I'm finding it much harder to drive around...
With the throttle just cracked open (usually when round town), the engine seems to hunt or oscillate a little which sets up a resonance in the drive line making it shunt terribly; if the revs are higher or lower then it's smooth and you can modulate the pedal nicely, but there is a black spot where, no matter how still you are with your right foot, it will kangaroo. It always seems to coincide with the speed I want for driving in traffic. It seems to always be around the 2,200 rpm mark.
Is this something which can be cured? I'm well used to driving around the usual Caterham driveline shunt, but this is in addition to that and is really quite irritating. Is it something which can be improved with a mapping session, or TPS adjustment of some sort?
All info gratefully received.
Thanks
Mark
