    This morning i was on my way to work when i came to a stop at a intersection, the idle started acting weird. It dropped to like 1200 to 1000rpm started sputtering, i cranked a throttle a little it made the idle go lower for a bit, then stuttering to acceleration it was bucking and stuttering then suddenly bam, running normal again (was soo sudden i nearly did a wheelie). What the hell is wrong? Ive had this happen 3 times since ive owned it, its like a random hiccup i keep coming across. It feels like its running out of gas or something and then goes back to normal a few mins later. A couple of times i would come to a stoplight and pull in the clutch before a complete stop and the damn bike just stalls. I know it cant be the idle being too low as the thing generally idles at 1200-1300 rpms. When i first got it, it used to sit at 1000-1100 but when the stalling thing started to happen i assumed the idle was too low, i raised it up but look like it didn't really solve anything. Anyone else ever have this problem? :mad: Do these things have crank and cam angle sensors like cars do? I know these kinds of sporadic behaviors happen to modern cars with magnetic sensors start to go haywire.

    Bad gas? Fuel filter? Possibly something with the FI?

    If it were bad gas i presume it would be doing it until i run out of gas at least, same goes with the filter. Its sporatic and does it every now and again, i think its a electronics fault somewhere, maybe something to do with the idle compensator. :confused:
