Power Lost Power Drop 2022 Thruxton Rs

Sudden throttle and engine power loss.

I have a 2022 Thruxton with 8,000 miles.

While riding on the highway at around 75-80 mph, I lost throttle response, the engine was still running, and the bike started slowing down. The engine light came on. This happened twice during a 7-hour ride, both times around the 5-hour mark. I pulled over, turned the bike off, then back on, and it ran fine until the second time, about 30 minutes later. Turned it off and back on. After that, the rest of the trip was fine.

I’ve been having battery issues (bought a new one but haven’t installed it yet.) For the past few weeks, the bike has sometimes struggled to start. It would try to turn over, fail, then start successfully on the second attempt. Every time this happened, the trip meter reset.

I’m unsure if the problem is with the battery or bad gas.

I always use 93 or higher octane gas when available. I added a small amount of STP fuel treatment, I normally use Lucas but they didn't have any. This was a day before the issue and filled up about 3 or 4 times after.

I also recently added throttle spacers to remove the throttle slack, which works great, but I don’t think that’s related.

About two months ago, I had a warranty issue with the clutch, and they replaced the whole part.

Anyone have any ideas what could cause this issue of sudden throttle and engine power loss?

Thank you so much.
