On 2 recent trips when going up hill slightly technical routes in the afternoon the bike just looses all power and then cuts out The weather has been hot on the occasions. Yesterday coming back down the R355 temp was about 40 degrees. BIke goes then again looses power Switched the kill switch off and free  wheeled for about 20 seconds restart bike and bike goes again for awhile then same thing starts all over again Even did it coming back over bains kloof this morn It stopped doing it when got closer to coast near Monwabisi. Bike temp is fairly high but not overly so Fan comes on for a very short while then goes off. Feels like fuel starvation of sorts.
