Hello,
Has anyone experience the same problem or found a solution to the motor cutting out when down shifting or slowing down (intermittently)?
I have discussed this with North Oxford Garage (NOG) who have had the same issue with other customers, but, have no solution to it, yet.
Nothing is showing on the fault diagnostics when linked to the Canbus.
It only happens when down shifting, normally when slowing down for an island or junction and generally between third and second.
The motor just cuts out and cannot be started unless neutral is engaged. It is not an easy start either. Very lumpy and reluctant and very slow.
I have tried dropping the clutch for a bump start whilst I still have momentum to no avail (totally dead motor).
I cant decide if it is an electrical fault or petrol?
A couple of time it has been downright f*ck*ng dangerous and I am beginning to lose faith in an otherwise fantastic bike.
NOG thought that it may be a battery issue, however, after 24 months it had a new battery fitted, as such the battery should be ok particularly as it is fitted to an Optimate IV Canbus compatible.
It was reacting like this before I used the Optimate IV.
It has not been as bad since I used the Optimate, so it could be a battery issue?????
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Tony.
