The day of otherness I was riding on the freeway and something strange happened. I didn’t check my speed, but I was looking at the rpms. I going around 6K rpm in 5th gear and then suddenly the rpm dropped to 2K and went back up to 6k. This happened in the span of 1-2 seconds.
The bike behaved similar to when you brake very hard quickly or when you let go of the throttle and it engine brakes except it was way stronger. This wasn’t because I let go of the throttle because I had my hand on the throttle the whole time and I was maintaining speed. I tried to replicated it after it happened by letting go of the throttle, but it was nowhere as strong. I probably had about 25 to 30 miles to go until I needed to switch to reserve.
Any ideas what could have caused this? Is this a symptom of something?
