Good morning
I bought my bike a few months ago and have put just under a thousand miles on it. I took it for a spin into the East coast yesterday but on the motorway in 6th gear around 70-75 mph I rolled open the throttle to overtake and the bike spluttered?
I dropped it to 5th and again opened the throttle and it pulled away very smooth. Engine at this point was up to temperature.
Short time later in 5th around 60mph it did it again really rough and spluttering. I pulled in the clutch and opened the throttle and it was sweet all the way to the red line.
I again dropped a gear and accelerated and it pulled away no problem.
It never happened again for the rest of the day.
I have tried a search and although I can find loads of info of bikes stalling I'm not having much luck with my symptoms.
Anyone any ideas
Cheers
Richard
Forgot to add its a 2013 bike with just short of 10k miles and serviced. I bought it in January and it had oil, filters and plugs changed.
