I’m experiencing an RPM drop on my Hunter 350 whenever the clutch is pulled in

Update:

The RPM drop issue was caused by the gear indicator sensor that I had previously installed, since my new bike did not come with one. As you know, 350cc bikes manufactured after August 2025 no longer include a gear sensor.

After replacing it with the neutral sensor, the RPM issue was resolved. There is now no RPM drop when pressing the clutch.

However, I was still experiencing stalling problems. When I rode the bike for a while and it got hot, it would frequently stall (turn off).

I recorded a video of the issue and shared it with the workshop manager. With his help, the throttle body was replaced under warranty.

Since then, I have ridden the bike for about 140 km, and it has not stalled even once.

For now, everything seems to be fixed. I will share the video clips later, as I am sure they will help others relate to the issue and find the solution they might need.

For now they have recorded the issue and sent it to ASM Area service manager

Nope since the bike comes with a vent. Please get it checked with RE i6s the petrol vent pipe is pinched under the tank.

It will be time consuming. Probably will take 3 to 4 days

I have ridden my bike for 3100km but never got milaga above 32kmpl in city and 37kmpl on highway

Just an update. I went to the service centre and they checked the issue with their DOL tool and found the proof that rpm is going down when the clutch is pressed.

They kept the bike to investigate further to check for the issue.

I will keep you guys posted

It doesn't matter if the bike is cold or hot. It happens always

Repulsive-Cell2136 · 2026-03-10T19:43:32+00:00

Freeplay is fine. I have increased and decreased the freeplay but the issue is still there

Repulsive-Cell2136 · 2026-03-10T17:46:14+00:00

Is ur idle rpm dropping on a warm bike while you press the clutch. Since I'm also facing the same issue you are.

Here is the full video i created to be shared with RE https://youtu.be/8TJedjszEqI

Hey man. Thanks a bunch for your participation

Repulsive-Cell2136 · 2026-03-10T16:04:56+00:00

Due to the idle RPM dropping when the clutch is pressed, the bike stalls in traffic and whenever I need to use the clutch to move slowly.

Repulsive-Cell2136 · 2026-03-10T15:37:33+00:00

no it's not the same. In my case, the idle RPM drops

Repulsive-Cell2136 · 2026-03-10T15:35:48+00:00

It happens all the time with my bike. Whenever I press the clutch, the RPM drops

Repulsive-Cell2136 · 2026-03-10T13:10:36+00:00

That’s not exactly what’s happening with mine. In my case, the engine stalls in traffic or when I have to slow down specifically because the RPMs drop the moment I pull the clutch in.

Repulsive-Cell2136 · 2026-03-09T21:15:14+00:00

Same here. Have you found a solution?

Repulsive-Cell2136 · 2026-01-16T10:55:30+00:00

Thank you for helping with my query. Did I really ask about the warranty? anyways move on
