Here's my story: for whatever reason i was accelerating hard from 5th to all of 6 (full throttle) on Motorway recently, and suddenly bike acted strangely as if I couldn't use the throttle anymore, electrics working but no engine just like it gave up the ghost because I couldn't rev any more and started to slow down slowly, no throttle possible, no engine, fuel etc
I fortunately made it to the hard shoulder from the outside 3rd lane very promptly because I was ahead of the traffic I had 'left'. Whilst still cruising now in neutral on the hard shoulder wondering what the f just happened, I turned off engine in neutral (as it wouldn't fire up on button), fired up and was neck in action, safely rejoined motorway.
Anyone have similar experience?
My guesses are the throttle bodies may need a service or a new TBS installed, fuel pump issue or all 3.
I love the bike, but it does have its quirks but has taken me all over Europe so far, and don't want to trade it just yet for a tft computer screen, bit better top speed and more plastic.
Any advice welcome...
