Cutting out
My Super Three has the same symptom, which feels like fuel starvation but is impossible to locate and fix. I now reckon my fuel system is okay - but do check the tap is actually turning the valve and is not broken - it is hollow and snaps off! (Mikuni part?) I am now trying Nology coils from the US but am unconvinced...
I rarely visit this forum but coincidentally yesterday (without prompting) my local independent mechanic said he had only had experience of fixing these bikes once - he spent ages looking for an intermittent fault... He eventually traced it to poor insulation on the wire from the pick up where it passed through the cases. I have yet to look at mine and have no idea at all what the layout is down there. But copper work hardens, the wiring loom is 14 years old and having a look is now very high on my To Do list. Which is now: check this/pick up; replace plug leads; run some fuel sytem cleaner through the system; then if needed try another igniter. And keep hoping...
Interestingly mine came with a Jack Lilley igniter and has the same problem. Not a worthwile piece of kit by all accounts but it does raise the rev limt to a similar level to the 750 Trident.
Bon chance!
