When just starting my bike the throttle response from a dead stop is great. I release into the friction zone the bike pulls well gas it and it takes off well. After getting hot the rpm drop feels like its doubled from a stop. I have no performance issues as far as I can tell in any gear at any throttle position. I am a new rider and this is my first bike. Instinctively everyone will want to say your learning the clutch. With my infinite noob wisdom I am here to tell you thats not an issue.
Im pretty sure I could redline it let off the clutch and it would just stall (bad idea) my point is I spend much longer trying to gas it up in my friction zone than I should have to before i release the clutch. Its great initially. But gets worse the longer the bike runs. It is very hesitant to move from a stop. I can rev the shaZam! out of it, but if I dont give it enough time to get moving it will stall with a full clutch release. Im not trying to take off fron a red light but im also not trying to have four cars pass me in the other lanes before I can release clutch rev up and shift.
Im riding a 2004 gs500f 38k miles. I understand bikes need a second to get moving but it shouldn't be more than a quick second or two. Its almost as if I have 0 torque or power until I hit a minimum speed then I can rev it up to 40-50mph in 3 or 4 seconds. Also not popping the clutch. Heres how it is at a stop light. Rev it to 4-5k slowly release the clutch. Feel the bike move release some more pull my feet off the ground. Rpms have droped hard from 5k to probably close to 1.5 I rev it back up (havent rolled off once) and I have to let it pick up speed to probably 5mph for a second or two in friction zone before I can fully release. And even then it does almost choke out if I decide to do it too early. A quick takeoff Is impossible with the bike. Doesn't matter where my revs/clutch is at. Its not even an issue when I first start it.
Is this normal for this specific bike? Am I really just being a noob?
I am struggling to understand what it is you are saying but at 16 years and 38k your clutch will have seen some action. Taking the plates out, checking them for wear and slip, cleaning or replacing them followed by a proper setup/adjustment session and lubing the cable/mechanism will almost certainly be of benefit.
Buy a manual and read through the procedure, if you feel up to it crack on, if not let a pro handle it.
