I have a 2009 848. Recently the bikes started doing something incredibly strange and my mechanic and I are completely stumped.
During riding the engine suddenly "cuts" and is associated with backfiring of the exhaust. But within a second the power is back on again. This problem arises completely at random but seems to be most prevalent at around 5-7000rpm.
No error codes come up - Upon plugging in the ECU we found no codes - but strange enough we found that the ECU was blank for any codes despite no ones reset it (i.e. The ECU wasn't holding the codes).
The ECU has been replaced but the same problem persists.
We're pretty sure this is some sort of an electronics issue and not mechanical but cannot locate the source as the ECU isn't flagging anything up.
Would be grateful if any guys can chime in with ideas or if they know anyone who has had a similar issue.
