G'Day fellas,
I know I'm a bit late on this one, but for ages on my '99 I had a slight loss of power ie negative surge, only in 6th gear. While cruising along in 6th it would feel like I hit a small gust of headwind without feeling the gust itself. I got a gear pos indicator from Slong(a while back) and it indicated Neutral for the second or two when this happened. My conclusion was that the Gear pos switch was faulty and occasionally sent a nuetral signal only in 6th gear, thus changing the fuel mixture to a leaner one for a sec or two. I'm getting the bike back together now and have replaced the GPS with a new one, not going yet so I can't compare the results, but I also found that the GPS can be rotated a few degrees + & - before tightening the securing bolt,this may also be the cause of the incorrect signal.
Cheers Graeme
