when travelling on the open road with my 650 I can't bearly touch the throttle especially going uphill then it sound like fuel starvation. After a 15 min standstill it goes well again until it gets "warm"again then it happens again. The tank is clean ( relined about 100 km ago ) new fuelpump , fuelfilter and sparkplugs also 100km' s ago . Also used injector cleaner but bike still the same please help

Sorry I can’t help.
I’ve never had this problem.
Sounds like you’ve checked the most likely suspects
I reckon you’ll get there

Have you checked the fuel tank breather as a vacuum in the tank can cause these symptoms

My 2004 DL650 ( 110,000 k's ) drives, rides, handles great. It changes gears beautifully when it is cold but gear changes are definitely 'clunkier' after it warms up. I have to get up into the higher rev range before I can change out of first, after it warms up. Anybody here have any pointers on what the problem may be. ?

Try Gulf Western SYN X 3000 engine oil, it’s not a dedicated bike oil. I used it in my 2000 Triumph RS Sprint, 2012 FJR 1300 with no issues over big miles. Much cheaper than dedicated bike oils and does the job exceptionally well. I just bought an 06 VStrom 650 and will be using the oil in it as well.
