Hope you get it fixed. I don't recall any stumble threads here in the last 12 mos but I'll have a look.

Whatever the cause is, it'd still show up at the tach so I don't think that's pointing at anything specific.

Funny how that works. I have a parked most of the time Ducati 900SS. When I do take it out, I have to remember not to wring it's neck, like I do the KLX, otherwise I get close to triple digits fast, on one wheel. It's scary what that bike will do, but fun.

Congrats on the bike, btw.

V4, my 2011 had something like this at higher rpm. I was hesitant to mod the r/r but it didn't get better or worse with the snorkel in or out. New plug, etc.

I didn't get a photo but my B/Y wire was possibly heat affected. Brittle with a black layer on the copper and I couldn't tin it to solder the connector on so I made a new grounding wire. The spade connector female in the connector plug was corroded and covered with verdigrease.

Immediately I noticed that the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx o xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx was gone, right out to about 9k.

The ground mod has cured the stumble on quite a few bikes here, I've never needed it but is too simple not to try if you have issues like a noticeable stumble.
