There has been alot of talk about engines cutting out lately on the 03+ bikes. I've seen it posted on other boards as well. I recieved a request via PM to make this a sticky and shall do so in the effort that everyone can, as a group, use our collective heads to try and solve this problem.....
here is the PM.......
yo PENFOLD. i'v noticed a serious problem with 03R6 bikes where the engine cuts out, there seems to be hundreds of Rsixers with the problem. i'm am contacting you and other R6 websites, to try to bring this problem to light and try to fix it. I have placed a list of questions at this URL.

please could you setup a STICKY on your site so people with this problem can answer the questions, so we can find the problem before someone gets hurt.
AS i said i'v also contacted other R6 websites because its gonna take all Rsixers working together to work it out.
I DO NOT KNOW ALL OF THE DIFFERENT R6 WEBSITES , I ONLY KNOW A FEW, SO PLEASE PASS ON THESE DETAILS TO OTHER R6 SITES MODERATORS PLEASE.
My 2 cents on reading thru the R6MN thread is that the Power Commander seems to be involved in just about every instance. What someone needs to do is to is disconnect their PC3 and see if that affects anything. might make it run a little ruff with the additional mods that a PC3 helps out but it should help you atleast identify if it is the PC3 or something else. Make sure you check all connections from the PC3 to the stock harness. Might even slice open the shrink wrap sheathing on the PC3 leads to make sure no wires are frayed or lossely connected and then reshrink wrap them.
any thoughts or ideas or contributions of any sort are greatly appreciated!
