driving home other day and all of a sudden loss power and throttle response
down shifted and still nothing bike shut down but was able to start right back up
no codes
revved couple of times and revved okay then wouldn't
had to baby it home
sometimes pull clutch in and over rev and would take off abit then right back
eventually was able to run it at full speed with no further issues but am not satisfied with that as am worried if I take a long trip it acts up again.
Where to start ...it appears to me maybe fuel issue ..had some left from winter but topped up with new and possible water?
any and all advice is greatly appreciated
 
sounds like maybe gas issue. get some wynns powercharge and throw it in there with a tank and run it through a full tank. if its clogged up a little this stuff with clean it like a boss.
 
Does sound like a gas issues. I will have to try the power charge I normally use redline. Did you do anything to the bike shortly before the bike acted up? If I'm not mistaken those are external fuel pumps which sometimes vapor lock, but they normally don't start right back up.
 
Thanks will try and let you know

No didn't do anything to the bike before just good run got up around 160 or so with no issue and then just out of the blue
I did notice that the oil was low and am wondering if that could have caused something as well
topped up now and checked for leaks

will keep posted thanks for help
