Gixxer cut out on me today

[MikeyC]

Was filtering to work, bike was nice and warm, was about 20 mins into my journey. Doing about 15mph filtering in 1st gear and it just died. Started it up again, gave it a little blip of the throttle.... the best way of decribing the noise was like someone needing to clear their throat, if that makes sense?

Didnt happen again for the rest of the journey, seemed very random.

Bike is on 26k miles now, last service was around 18k I think?

sounds a bit strange, give it a good service, new plugs, clean the filters, new oil etc... and see how it goes. If it happens again let us know , Dan

Could be just a little bit of dirt in the fuel. The one thing I woudl check though is that there's no water in your fuel. The missus old SV650 used to do this when the overflow pipe blocked, filled up with water in the rain and then started dumping water into the tank when you opened the fuel cap.
