    Had this happen once when the engine was cold and I was shifting from 1st to 2nd. I think the engine cut out and the bike self-bumped and I thought nothing of it.

    However, it's happened a couple of times since with the engine warm. One was a shift from 2nd to 3rd at about 40mph.

    Haven't investigated yet. Anyone else had this?

    Cheers

    You're not resting your right foot on the brake pedal are you?

    If you've got a centre stand or lift, get the back wheel off the ground and check to seek if anything is stopping the back wheel from turning.

    Also, have you checked (when the bike is in neutral) what speed does she tick over at ?

    Cheers :)

    Not back brake. Will put on ABBA to check later today/tomorrow. Ticks over ~1000rpm.

    I think the engine cuts out and the bike bumps starts itself. That's what it feels like. First time it happened the bike skidded a bit.

    Only thing that's changed since it started happening is I loaded the Julian tune.
