I removed some Oxford grips from my 03RSVR(came with the bike before you ask) to put some renthals on for better feel; then rode half an hour (no problem) stopped for a while, rode back and the bike cut out twice on the way home, seemd like a fuel problem for a second or two then cut, but was fine restarting 30 secs later, rode off then when opened her up stuttered and cut again, thought the rev limiter might have reset or something, but when I restarted it again, was able to ride the last 2 miles home hard, through the range. I removed the grips and wiring at the front of the bike but have left the connector that runs from the battery, and tied it off at the front. Slightly concerned as have dyno time booked Tues, any thoughts/suggestions. The fuel filter was changed during its 9K service a few days ago, but have had 2 trouble free smallish rides since. Cheers
