This afternoon ~75 miles into a 100 mile ride - I initially felt a very brief loss of power, almost like a mis-fire? was in 6th gear ~75mph ~4000rpm - the momentum kinda throws the weight of the bike forward when this happens. I thought I just hit some sort of irregularity in the pavement and I ignored it. Kept going then did it a few more times - kinda random, 3 or 4 times, then stopped. Okay, now I was convinced something was going on. Tried varying speed, shifting gears - would run okay for a while, then maybe a few 'bumps' then back to running normal again. Speed and gear didn't seem to make any noticeable difference, but if I pulled in the clutch and just coasted (engine would drop down to idle) I didn't notice it doing anything strange. I never heard a noise like a mis-fire or anything that sounded weird. It's been probably 1,500 miles since my 16,000 mile service. I did get gas yesterday at a place I have been to many times and never had a problem. But then it was only ~5-8 miles slow speed in town before I parked it in the garage. Any body have experience with bad gas or clogged fuel filter in an NC? Where is the fuel filter? Any other things I should look into? Water in the gas? Clogging injector? Any other ideas? Was going to ride it again after work tonight but want to have some ideas of what to think about, look for, try, . . .
