stumbling

[Rube]

My almost new to me 2011 r1200Rt began to stumble today when I was riding. It was 92 degrees out. I have just shy of 32K on the bike. It has been flawless. I noticed the stumble after slowing done and accelerating hard then noticed it anytime I was taking off or laying on the throttle. Even with this I was still able to cruise at 70 on the highway home. I would suspect bad gas, clogged fuel filter, or bad coil pack but I don't know these bikes. It has been serviced regularly by the same dealer since new at all the recommended intervals. Any suggestions?

Evening Rube

 

Might be a stick coil going out (not unheard of). 

 

Might even be a spark plug with badly eroded electrodes (if the plugs haven't been replaced in a while might start with those)

 

See if the problem is still there next time you ride it. If so then you will have to do some trouble shooting to try & find it. 

 

Better hope it isn't a plugged fuel filter as the filter is non-replaceable without replacing the fuel pump assembly.

next weeks project. Thanks. no better way to get to know the bike.

just had the bike into the dealer to look at the misfire/skip... 1 coil was not 100%. The dealer replaced it and I cannot be happier. Took a test ride yesterday at 30 degrees. Can't wait for spring.
