Can't hurt to change the plugs...switch to the Iridiums! How does the airfilter look? But......a bit of bad gas can also make the bike run like poo, I believe you are thinking of the right things to check. I seriously doubt if it is anything of a big deal.

Mine has 5850 km and it still stalls occasionally. The dealer said there was nothing wrong with it. Is this a common issue?

I put in new CR8EK plugs and Isopropyl, and put about 600 mi. on her.
Hasn't cut out yet. Time will tell, but I think it was water in the fuel.

We have recently done the 24K service on my friend's Bandit. ALL the plugs were in excellent condition. The gaps were around 0,7 mm almost the factory value! Quote:

I think so! I will let you know if it cuts out again. I doubt it will.

UPDATE
The bike has not cut out after dumping in the isopropyl.

Well the problem is back. I went to start the bike today after sitting for about 4 days.
When it started, it died almost instantly. I tried again and it died right away again. I tried again, and this time gave it a little throttle. It kept running, but only on one cylinder for about 5 full seconds, then the other cylinder joined in. Took it for a ride, and one cylinder keeps cutting out? Runs terrible with no power and then all of a sudden it's OK again. I had drained the tank a while back and found no water. I ran lots of fuel injector cleaner, isopropyl, Stabil etc. through it . 3 tankfuls I am beginning to think that it was never a fuel problem. I think it may be a plug wire/coil cap issue? ECM? Any ideas?
