f4i loss of power while 12'n

dont know whats going on but this is whats happening.

bike runs great normally...

from a 636 to this new f4i first time pulling a 12 was EASY...

so i roll down the parking lot once and everything is fine and its running great.

i set it down and turn around about to 12 the other way...

ABSOLUTELY loss of power...bogging and running like crap.

i zip around normally for 2 minutes and it runs good again.

oil light did not come on

fuel was on reserve

stock gearing

manual cam chain tensioner installed to spec.

anyone else have this problem??
i didnt try again until i find out. a good buddy of mine who has one which i tried out didnt have this problem. he told me it might be gas.

I'm having a similar problem, never had it with my r6. It seems to bog out sometimes after 12'ing randomly wanting to die as well. I will come down from a 12, it will bog a bit, I'll dip the clutch, and bam, it's dead. This is on a full tank. I don't have a front end, my tipover switch is bypassed.

Well, I at first thought it was how I bypassed my tipover coming loose. But it's weird that it'll come down, be running, bog a bit, and then I pull in the clutch, THEN it dies. I pull in the clutch, press the starter, and it starts right back up.

Thats what I was thinking? I just recently swapped out my tank and fuel pump (but I didn't stunt it before I swapped them, but also, I didn't have any of these weird bike bogging problems, like today, I pulled in my clutch while rolling to a red light and the bike died while I was rolling). I think I'm getting a combo of crappy wiring (it sometimes shuts off when I launch it up, lol) and a bad fuel pump. I just really don't feel like changing out the fuel pump.

I'm gonna swap out fuel pumps with my one from my original gas tank tommorow (which I guess is good). I'll tell you how it goes.

Re: f4i loss of power while 12'n

hey i rode all day and after putting on my 62t along with an extra 1/2 quart of oil, the bike ran like a champ with no problems....

i think it was the gas being low...
