CUTTING OUT

PLEASE HELP..

story so far....
only problem with bike so far was pc111 getting wet inside and causing bike ti die at speed.
dried cleaned and sealed fixed problem.

castle combe on sunday wet ride there and back- bike fine.

out today in sunshine-first 20 mile fine then all of sudden dead (sweeping bend 90 ish) pulled over .
took ages to get going (died with oil light up)
had to rev hard to keep it going
cut out on me 2 more times limping home.

any help out there please...!!

fuel + oil level fine -- phone dealer tomorow..

i'm prety sure its never been on 1 cylinder.(both hot etc)
when i last got it serviced (march) because of all the threads on here i asked them to check-- they said i had the "latest"coils.
i have just disconnected pc111 and nailed it-- didn't miss a beat.

only had time for 10 miles
this did not start earlier until 15 or so miles.

need a good blast with phone and recovery card i guess !!

thanks for all your ideas

Went through the same with mine, and initially things were pointing to the PCIII, JHP spent god knows how many hours (and at the drop of a hat - top service as ever) looking at mine, unplugged the PCIII and voila sprang into life, had it running for a good hour or so and didn't miss a beat. Then John pointed out that the PCIII only does fuel mapping nothing more nothing less, soon after she started playing up again, eventually both coils replaced, PCIII re-connected - problem solved

Could it possibly be the coils getting hot,then breaking down??

It's gonna be a process of elimination, I'd disconnect the PCIII and see if that fairs any better get a good couple of hours under your belt then reconnect and do the same again.

If it fails with it disconnected go for the coils
