Today (08/05/99) I was traveling up a major highway at approximately 75-85 mph. I accelerated slightly, slowed due to a car changing lanes in front of me, then went to the middle lane to pass this car. While rolling on the throttle, the bike "died" for a second or two and then picked up speed. I accelerated up to about 85 mph again, slowed for my exit ramp and the EXACT same thing occured again. The conditions at the time of the incident were: Hot (90+), humid (75%), moderate traffic conditions, and I had just ridden (at the time of the problem) 103.2 miles without stopping. Also, I was in 6th gear and utilizing a magnetic tank bag. I have never had any problems prior to this, I have ridden farther, in hotter weather, and currently have 3,500+ miles on the bike. I immediately called my Suzuki dealership (Dover, DE) and spoke with them. They advised they have not had any complaints thus far (except for a subject that put on a full aftermarket exaust system without remapping) for the condition I described. I have dealt with them for 7 years now and am personal friends with the owner & mechanic, so I know if they had a "reported" problem they would have been straight up and told me. Anybody have any fixes or suggestions???
