Hi
Strange one I was riding the other day on the motorway and when I hit 70 the bike stuttered and started to roll back speed when I added Throttle it did the same thing and kept rolling back, dropping a gear and still there allowed the bike to rolled back to 50 and all the throttled back up no problem but started again.
I came off the motorway checked all no leaks nothing at all powered away thru the gears with no issues accelerating, just wondering if anyone has come across this before?

Sounds like lack of fuel. Check vacuum shutoff function and fuel pump volume.

Also check fuel cap - vents might be plugged.

I assume the vacuum shutoff is the peacock ur talking about and fuel flow is there a way to measure this? Just not too familiar with the 1500
