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
Aha. Strange though, i had the low fuel light on on other occasions as well and it didn't limit my revs at those times. Maybe the fuel level got really low by accident, i'll see how much i can add when i fill her up next time
It's low fuel. As soon as the light comes on and you lap aggressively it will buck and weave. I kissed the windshield a few weeks back because of this. Added fuel and no more issues.
