Hi Guys, Got a little problem i'm hoping someone can tell me what it is. I have a 2002 RSV went out last sunday and again this sunday for a blast. Both days I had the same incident except last sunday it happened just once and this weekend twice (within a few minutes of each other). Basically last sunday I came out of a sweeping right hander and opened the throttle, after a few seconds of being upright and the throttle pinned the engine seemed to cut out for a micro split second and start up again. This sunday it happened twice, but this time it happened just as i opened her up on a straight. To describe how big it is when it happens, it feels like I've just rode into a wall of air, my innards feel like thay are about to come throw my stomach. Then just as quick as it happens it goes away and the bike rides perfect, except this sunday it happened again a few minutes later.
I have tried to figure out what it could be, below is the list that I think it could possibly be;
Engine-Miss fire? (but in my opinion it feels way to strong for a simple miss, but this is my first V twin so I could be wrong).
It has a new Pipewerx exhaust fitted (was told no re-mapping was required but maybe it does).
Fueling issue? (but would of thought it would be more regular and I would of known by the sound of the engine).
Side Stand? (I know these bikes have had issues with this previously and to be honest I wasnt looking at the dash when it happened so no sure if the light flashed on or not).
Kill Switch Fault (Is there or has there been an issue on the RSV's with the kill switch? Even thought maybe my hand is catching the kill switch as i open her up but I havent exactly got shovel hands so cant see that being the fault)
Its playing on my nerves as it does feel strong enough to one day make me do superman over the handle bars, and im not exaggerating!
lol
Any thoughts or possible solutions would be gratefully recieved. :thumbup
Thanks
