So I am on a ride with my buddies. We have been out about 5 hours and are almost back home. We are on the interstate and I begin to accelerate to pass a truck and suddenly my bike begins to cut out.
As I accelerate, it runs then cuts out, runs then cuts out, ect....
So, when I stop accelerating, I can hold that speed, however the moment I put a "load" on the motor to accelerate, it begins to cut in and out as I described.
At first I just hold the speed I am at, however, the moment I hit the incline of a hill, I get the cut in cut out action again. Also, I can disengage the clutch and accelerate to redline without any symptoms. I get off the interstate and pull of the road and stop the bike. It cranks back up without a glitch or hick-up. At first the bike runs fine however after about 2 or 3 minutes of travel time on interstate, the symptoms return.
While it was ridiculously hot, the bike was not running too hot according to the temp gauge. So has anyone else had this problem? I am thinking it is probably a fuel filter that needs replacing. What are your thoughts??
