have you checked tyre pressures? it could be moving slightly in the bead!!??
try deflating and reinflating, it might just need re-bedding in the rim!

Disaster. On my way down to Doncaster to watch the Knights
Got my waterproofs on, loaded up the bike and headed off this morning made it as far as the m/way and the bike starts losing power and then getting it back again.Worried it was going to cut out all together a pulled off the m/way and tried to suss out the problem. Had no clue. Thought the new fitted heated grips might of had been messing with the electrics so i turned them off and pulled away. Still the same prob.
Started heading north and it runs fine after a while.
Back the Dumfries the now, gutted took holidays off and everything.
What the hell is going on? Anyone help?

You think a fresh new battery is the answer?
