I've mentioned before that my bike is cursed.
Well, this past week I bought a new battery and then a few days later had the steering head bearings replaced. Today it broke down on me again and it is decidedly not the battery.
The bike started bucking and surging, as if it was being starved of fuel. The FI light would flash for some periods and remain lit in others, but there didn't seem to be a pattern. I limped it to the nearest shop. It seemed to be a little better at a tad over 4k RPMs and held at a constant throttle or decelerating. It will stall in first gear frequently. But it will always start back up, and seems okay at idle.
It's cursed I tell ya.
I think this has been a long time coming because it has spontaneously turned itself off on a few occasions. I just hope it's an easy fix.
