Hi guys, I have a strange issue. I'll try to explain how it feels/what happens first:
I'm cruising at 84km/h on the speedo in sixth gear, just above 4k RPM. It's wet, the bike has been out all night in the rain (camping). While holding steady throttle I can sense something that feels like the fuel injection is cutting in and out and if I keep the throttle super steady at the exact same position it slowly loses revs (and speed) until it pretty much reached idle. I tried pulling in the clutch after letting it lose speed/rpm to around idle, this didn't change anything. While holding the clutch I slightly change position (1 degree or something?) of the throttle (from my original cruise-position) and it instantly jumps to 6-7k RPM. This cutting in and out kept happening all the time during this ride until I got to dry roads and had rode for a bit (bike looked dry on the outside at this point). Anyone have any clue what this might be?
Things I've done so far:
1) Checked the TPS readout on the dash right after this was happening, reads 16 at no throttle, 102 max. Tried to hold it steady at every value from 16 to 50 to see if it changed/jumped around, but it did not.
2) Flipped up the tank and looked at the ECU etc, everything looked dry (this is 8 hours after riding though), but dusty. No connectors seemed loose. No signs of water spilling around in that compartment to me.
I even have a fender extender to keep water from getting everywhere...
(Edit: changed point 1 to more accurately reflect what I did)
