I was out on the bike over weekend and on two occasions with on 5 mins I felt a weird loss of power.
The 1st time I had gone through the gears at a normal rate and in 6th at around 80mph the bike began to feel like it was struggling. And started making a noise, the only way I can describe the noise would be like if you was pulling of in 1st gear and don't give it enough revs.
I tried to power through it, which made no difference so I pulled over. I revved the bike up a few times and decided to take it all way through the rev range but in a steady manner. .
It went fine up until 6th when at about 8k revs the bike seemed to have a complete loss of power. Shoving me forward, to be honest I shit myself thinking I was gonna go through the fairing! Lol
It was only quick tho, a split 2nd as if I had just dabbed the brake on .. which I hadn't! Lol
After that it ran fine so iv been racking my mind wondering what it could be. I had just filled it up and thought maybe a bit of shit clogging something up then clearing? I'm going to buy some carb clean to try rule that out? Anyone else got any suggestions please?
