In a nutshell, the bike ran great for the first 600 miles. Had it serviced at dealer and ride home was uneventful- 40 miles. On way home from work, bike had a hiccup in the power while running 60 mph but did not die. When I pulled clutch to slow at next turn the motor cut off and was hard to start. Got it started and home. Trucked it back to dealer and they said there is nothing wrong with bike. No problems on a weekend ride. On way home from work the other day the bike died twice on approach to stop signs in the middle of the ride, always right when I pull in the clutch and roll off the throttle to start to slow. It acted fine at all the other stops. WTF?
The only thing I mentioned at the first service was they might check the choke adjustment, as the choke seemed to completely shut off after pushing it halfway closed. It is actually worse now, the bike will rev to 4K after running only seconds on full choke and again after closing the choke enough to get the revs back to 2500 or so.
The idle also seemed rough, more like a v-twin, and low. I adjusted it to about 1300 or so.
Bad gas or trash in the fuel? Plugs fouled? Any thoughts?
Thanks for any suggestions you can make and I apologize for the length of this post.
