K6 flat on her face...

So heres one for the head scratchers. A few times now after getting on the gas pretty hard the bike acts like it has a short of some sort and the revs/power just drop out of it for a split second.

Kinda feels like a missed shift at first till it just takes off again with no change in throttle position which is almost always wide open.

It did it today while getting on the on ramp to the e-way and almost sent me off the front of the bike it slowed so hard... then Boom back to full power.

No FI light no nothing.

I do have a switchable TRE that has been jumping around while switched off. By that I mean the gear indicator will move from 2-3-2-4-2-0-blank while riding, but put it in the on position and the revs smooth out and the 5 stays lit.

TRE was in the on position this time.

Kinda weird huh?

Any thoughts?

I think that there's a glitch in the fuel mapping. The effort that went into making sure these bikes meet emission standards really fuck things up royally. My KTM did the same damn thing with stock map. But now with aftermarket can and KTM's own race map, it's not that bad any more. The throttle response; both on and off, still isn't what I like yet but much improved than before. I'm still going to experiment with the PowerCommander and maybe a throttle cam kit too.

Ya know I do have A PC on the bike... Maybe the clip that reads the TPS is loose or something. If I get time this weekend im going to re map it and relocate that stupid clip on wire.
