    Strange Engine Behavior At High RPM

    Hello. I am not a mechanic at all and only really have general knowledge about automotive things.

    I have a 2020 zr900FLF. For engine mods all I have done is a mail in 2wheel dynoworks flash and a full LeoVince exhaust. Ive got 16k miles on the clock and had the bike in 6 months ago for the 15k mi service with the dealer.

    I have encountered a weird thing twice now. I am pulling hard WOT in 2nd up around high rpm something between 8.5k and 10K the engine seems to have like a sneeze or hiccup. Its weird there is no after fire or pop or bang or any noticeable loss of power. Its almost like how I would imagine a spark plug doesn't fire and no combustion happens in just one chamber for one or 2 cycles and then the next time the cycle comes around for that cylinder to fire its all good. It doesn't do it a lot, I have only noticed it twice and only when giving it the beans as they say. I am going to try to get it to do it again soon but I need some open road and no traffic.

    Does anyone have any thoughts on what this could be?

    Also I ride in road mode and I have not noticed the TCS flashing at me but IDK it could have been and I didn't notice it. Would the TCS cut spark like that but just for a fraction of a second?

    Hi, it can be anything, maybe even failure of spark plug as you wrote and occurs while on the load. Need to check

    Could be that.

    Did dealer change out your plugs?
    Fuel issue?
    Run good 91 ethanol free from a different station for awhile or when going to simulate.

    Switch "mode', try sport. 

    Like MZ900 said, could be anything  :027:
