Misfire/ cutting out

[jeepstertim]

I have trawled the search function but nothing seems as specific as my fault.

I had riden nearly 2 hrs from London (cool summer evening) when the bike stalled completely on approaching a round about (dash lights on). It restarted immediately and ticked over fine and rode on ok. After another 5 miles the bike seemed to drop a cylinder on anything other than acceleration (no dash lights on so not whole ening stall is my guess). I could accelerate, ease off throttle at required speed and the engine would immediately bog down, open the throttle again and it took off with no problems. At the end of the journey it was ticking over fine.

Any ideas, because at the moment having to constantly accelerate is going to get me in trouble with plod?!

You don't tell us what bike you have

You don't tell us what you've done to correct it

You don't tell us what mods eg exhaust you've got fitted

You don't tell us what work you have or haven't had done to the bike recently

Anything else you need to tell

Coil stick gone/going if it's a twin spark 1150/1200. Hall sensor.

Ahhh yes should have said;

1150 single spark
Remus can and y piece
New-ish EON 2s
I think it has also been fitted (at somepoint) with a power commander type chip thingy although I haven't checked.

Has been parked up since (hols) although will take it out tonight.

Does a failing coil pack burst back into life if an increased demand (RPM) is asked of it?

Try putting some "dry fuel" additive in the tank.

A while ago my mates 1150 did a simular thing to yours, after hours of cleaning etc we added some fuel injection cleaner to the fuel sorted it almost immediatley after a few flames !
