Engine cutting out..Need Help Please..
I've done a search and can't seem to find anything like this or maybe I'm just not wording the search right. Tonight while I was at the track, the first three passes I made the bike was running great. On the fourth pass, when I left, the bike pulled hard for the first few feet then it felt like the engine just cut off for a split second then came back on. I rolled off the throttle then pinned it again and it did the same thing. About 9000rmp the engine cut off then back on. I let the bike cool off for a while and tried it again but it did the same thing. On the way home It would do it if I was in a low gear and pin the throttle. If I rolled the throttle slowly it would pull to red line....Any Ideas?

It did act like it was low on fuel but it was just under half a tank. Gonna check the PC ground today.

Well I checked the PC ground and it seemed tight but I moved it anyway. It was behind the coolant overflow tank and I moved it to the actual ground cable on frame from the battery. I also checked the kickstand switch and made sure is was connected all the way. Went for a test ride and it seems to be fixed. It didn't cut out at all. I guess I'll find out for sure this weekend at the track. Thanks for the input...

Just get on a bumpy road lol, if it was the kickstand switch any good bump should give u that kill time reaction, id want to know now before I wasted a track day and even so its an easy fix , just connect the two wires, preferably at the plug in case u ever want to hook it back up later, just b mindful while starting cause she will move n gear while kickstand is down

Figured I would give an update incase anyone else ever runs into this problem:
Thought I had it fixed after changing the PC ground and checking the kickstand switch but the bike did the same thing while I was riding it to work the other night. Got home and did some more internet searching and saw a post on another forum about the fuel filter being stopped up and causing the same symptoms mine was having. So this morning I got up early and started working on it. I got my fuel pump out and got it apart to access the filter. Sure enough it was terrible. It looked like it was caked in mud. I gave it a good cleaning then put everything back together. I then rode the bike about 80 miles, pinning the throttle about 20 times with no stumbling or cutting out. Bike runs great now. My bike is a 2011 model but I bought new in april of this year so it's only four months old and only has 6,300 miles on it so seemed a little soon to have the filter so stopped up. Guess I'll change the station I get gas at from now on.......Just figured I would pass it on incase someone needed the information.
