Engine cut out 6th gear

[Pigs Cant Catch Me]

Cruising at 90mph, 6th gear, 4500revs. After about 20 - 30 minutes the engine cuts out for about 10 - 15 seconds, then cuts back in with power almost ripping my arms out.

The problem continues to happen until I come off the motorway and ride around town as normal.

Doesn't seem to happen at 100+ mph.

Query; fuel pump/fuel filter/fuel injection?

Any ideas?

if it only happend once, and not again... I would suggest a loose ignition connection.

but if it happens again, I would prop up the tank and make sure none of the hoses were kinked. it can cause an intermittent long-run cutout. specially once it gets warm.

also depends on what year your bike is. 2000 and older had a in-line fuel filter inside the pump that would always cause havoc.

sounds like you are on the right track.

Thanks for the info, I'll do some checking and let you know.

Anyone else have any information that might pertain to this problem?

As for the nickname, it's just for laughs.
I think cops are alright, as long as they're not bothering me
