has anyones bike shutdown under acceleration

[littledave]

on Saturday my bike shut down completely as if I had pulled the battery when I was accelerating in second gear (very hard !in fact so hard it bounced off the rev limiter ! oops)
it then just started after I had switched it off with the key and on again is it a known thing if you hit the rev limiter too hard it shuts down to protect its self? or might I have a bigger problem
ps i did 250 miles with 2112 the rest of the day with not so much as a hiccup

as far as I know rev limiters restrict power and never kill the engine

did you lose all your electrics (dash display etc)? this might give a clue as to where the problem is (have the trip counters or the clock reset themselves?)

I'd go with loose connection on this. The rev limiter is the engine's protection, it's designed to override, ahem, human error!! I like that, 'human error', even if it was deliberate ::008::

 

[littledave]

I was not deliberate trust me but it shut the whole dash down and the engine but did not reset the trips or the clock

Defo sounds like electrical.

Agreed, I'd start by checking the battery connections, and working my way out from there.

Could be a dead and/or over heating battery. Happened on my last bike. Died on the freeway after the bike was warmed up. Had a friend jump me after it cooled down got almost home died again. would not hold/or take a charge off a trickle charger it was so bad. Tested it before I replaced it as well as the charging system. Also check for loose grounds.

Would have to be past the main fuse since the trip meter and stuff kept power and did NOT reset.

I don't know if that is strictly true, mine did a similar thing after refueling, would not start, no lights, nothing, managed to 'bump' start it by rolling down hill and got home to find negative lead of battery loose.

Not on my tenere but on my old jeep grand Cherokee...what I found is that the battery connection has a leak and when you accelerate the water of the battery was coming out, touching the connection cable and causing the electronics to get crazy before the engine goes off. I changed the battery and the problem was gone.

Not sure how the above is helpful but this is all what I could help with...

I don't believe in coincidence. I reckon it may well be connected to the over rev situation. Let's face it, we don't really understand all the programming on this bike. BTW, if you disconnect the battery or if it completely dead, the odo and other instrument settings are maintained by internal power.

So there was not a total power outage. Dead/disconnected battery loses the trip meters and the clock. At least on a 2014.

just had a chance to check the battery terminals and both are bar tight the only other thing I have had off electrically is the dash and I have also had a look at those connections and they seem correct as for a knacked battery the bike started up fine after I had switched it off and on again then was flawless for the fest of the day (250 miles) so i'm at a loss to explain it. :question:

You didn't by chance tip it over? While it was revving!

 

[littledave]

no tip over but that's a good call I might have a look at those connections

Another faultless day's running yesterday, I think it's just been a one-off event.

I suspect too that the over rev was no co incidence, it maybe that the alternator voltage or current went out of spec and no doubt some crucial black box or boxes on the bike will have some form of protection built in and simply shut down briefly, of course its all guessing unless you feel like repeating it for the benefit of us all!!?
