During a longer trip this weekend I noticed a strange behavior. After been riding approximately 250 km I stopped to feed myself. In the beginning of the trip it had been raining but it stopped after a while. However, 30 minutes later I started the bike and went out on the highway. Went to the sixth gear and paced in 110 km/h a few seconds before I decided to increase the speed to overtaking the car in front. I twisted the throttle but the speed didn't increased. :confused: When doing this the bike sounded a bit strange, some kind of misfiring sound. I let the throttle go a little and the bike sounded normal and went on in 110 km/h as normal. Tried three times more and got similar behavior. :eek Went on in 110 km/h for a couple of km's and tried again and then the bike worked as normal. Been riding two days after that with no problem.
Any ideas of what it could be? :nenau
Not funny if the bike suddenly stops out of now where.
During the trip the bike was heavily loaded.

I am appreciated for all the hints I can get.
 
you've got water ingress somewhere, is it a twin spark as there have been a few notices on here about this. good luck..
 
Dirty fuel?

Sounds like a fuel or intermirrent electrical prob and my moneywould be on a clogged fuel filter/pipe.

Were you fairly low on fuel when it happened?

The bike has done 25000 km's. I think I had approximately half tank.
It's single spark, YM -02 R1150GS.
