I've had this before, each time the symptoms were not identical, this instance of failure was by far the worst.
Just got onto the M3 heading North from the M27, pissing down with rain in the outside lane, bike went onto one cyclinder and i thought it was going to die on me. Hazard lights on instantly, changed this to a left indicator and prepared to pull over to the hard shoulder. I realised that if I gently accelerated or , even better, stayed at a constant throttle it ran ok.........ish.
I was only about 3 miles from home, so decided to carry on. Hiccup was the 2 roundabouts where it almost stalled.
Changed one of the coilpacks for a new one, no difference, put the one I had just removed on the other cylinder. Voila
I wasn't convinced that it was a coilpack, as when they've failed before, it was quite a subtle failure, with a hint of misfire.
In hindsight, at work this morning the idle seemed to hiccup momentarily, and just before the blatant failure, it hiccuped, just as if I'd released the throttle for a nanosecond.
