My wife and I were riding to the movies when all of a sudden I experienced what can only be described as a sudden loss of power to the throttle. As I rolled on the throttle after making a turn the bike was bucking slightly. At first I thought it was the road but I soon realized it wasn't.
After pulling it over to the side of the road I noticed two things. One, the exhaust sounded funny. Two, a distinct smell of gas. However I couldn't find anything leaking.
I managed to ride the bike home but I felt like I was on a 250cc scooter from both the sound and power the bike was putting out.
Also on the ride home I noticed the R1 fuel gauge flashing. This is and was odd because I haven't yet installed the new fuel sensor for the new gauge. The bike also is barely keeping idle when I start it. It jumps around 500 rpm. When I turned into my driveway and shifted to neutral the bike just stalled.
Any help would be great.
