Ola fellow dogs...  :sip:

so - this is something I experienced on Sunday after taking my bike offroad for the first time in ages... and I've just experienced it 5 min ago on my way to work... given that I commute I figured the quickest way to a likely answer was tapping into the wealth of knowledge around here...

so what happened on sunday and today... open throttle a bit... shift up.... open throttle.... and in a heartbeat the engine cuts out 100%... as if I've hit the kill switch (and no - I hadn't done that  ;D )
This morning I managed to look down quickly enough to notice the FI light flashed once or twice...  :'(

but just as suddenly... the bike fired up again.... and the last 1km or so was uneventful...

Please tell me this rings a bell to someone - and that its a simple / cheap / quick fix...  :-\
