Hey guys, something weird happened today in my final session on a track day. Suddenly the bike started cutting power every time i hit around 11k RPM. very abrupt, made my helmet hit the wind shield. It did this for the rest of the session. It's like the rev limiter got lowered for some reason. Didn't get any fault code. I was low on fuel but I don't think that had anything to do with it? It was kind of dangerous. Any ideas? thanks.

Essentially identical sounding problem went away as soon as added fuel and fuel light was off during next session.

1st day at track with the 15 R1M, was saying to myself, WTH, then noticed the fuel light and thought, you are kidding me,
electronic wizards coded no high revs if fuel light is on ;)
