I bought my bike 4 months ago and have been riding it a fair amount ever since. After the first week my bike did a thing where it would die while downshifting to 1st. It did this 5 times in two weeks and hasn't done it since. That part still puzzles me.
But there is something new happening that I don't understand either. When riding on the freeway occasionally the bike would "lose" power for a second and then go back to normal, this makes it feel like the bike is lurching forward. It did this a few times in december and hasn't bothered me in the past 1000 miles I rode until yesterday. I took 100 miles trip to visit a friend and about 3/4 of the way there it started this again. It would do it twice in a row then would wait again for anywhere from 2 miles to 20 miles before happening again. It did it at speeds anywhere from 60-75 mph. I have an 05 with higher miles and the only mod done is a slip on exhaust from the previous owner. All the fluid levels are fine.
