I headed out for a ride today and the bike started as usual, about 2 minutes after started as I was waiting for a red light I noticed that the idle speed would drop for maybe three or four seconds to about 900 to 1000 rpm and then will come back to usual 1200-1300 rpm for three or four seconds, then back down for a few seconds and then back up for a few seconds. Also once I started after the light I revved the rpm to 4k-5k range and again I noticed a strange hesitation in the engine due to which the rpm wouldn't climb at a steady rate but will slow down for half a second and then will start to climb again. However the bike ran for about 4 to 5 miles and then as I was slowing down for a stop sign the engine shut off completely.
Now when I try to turn it on it comes on for a second and then shuts down immediately. About 2 or 3 times it even came on for maybe 3 or 4 seconds and rached about 3k to 4k rpm and then died off.
Has anyone experienced this before? Is there any chance to troubleshoot this myself or do I have to tow it to the dealer?
The only thing different about today is that there was a heavy thunder storm here yesterday while the bike was outside but I checked under the right panel and there doesn't seem to be any water in the wires, although I haven't checked all the fuses individually. But if it is coming on for a second before dying then I'm guessing it cannot be the fuses.
