       2014 690 bogging

       I've got about 200 miles on my 2014. While playing around
       yesterday, the bike bogged when whacking the throttle open.
       Happened 3 or 4 times in a 10 minute period. It was always
       second gear, about 4000rpm, opening the throttle quickly. Felt
       like the injector shut off. Anyone else experience this
       behavior?

       I haven't heard of this before.. Seams like the "bugs" are
       worked out of the 14's & they are pretty trouble free. Is it
       possible you have some bad gas? Did it come from a pump or a gas
       can? (maybe water in the gas?) Almost 12k miles on my 14' & it's
       never "bogged".  Good luck, let us know what you find.

       Was the engine cold? if so, that was the problem.

       I did put some gas in out of a can. It wasn't old and not likely
       to have water in it, but anything is possible. The engine temp
       crossed my mind. I had ridden about 30 miles and stopped for
       about 15 mins before this happened. It was 45F out. I didn't
       think it would cool down that quickly. I didn't note how many
       engine coolant bars were displayed, but maybe that was it. The
       bike didn't bog the rest of the ride.

       Mine's bogged, but never at 4k rpm.  Usually it's because I'm
       wrestling with that darn tall "low" gear.

       It wasn't like it bogged and recovered. There was no power until
       I closed the throttle. It was like the injector was turned off.
       Must have been something ecu related.

       I really think it was a bit of water you picked up. Some amount
       of water is in nearly every fuel tank & is vaporized during
       combustion with no problem. Single cylinder engines are a bit
       more prone to run poorly when water is present as they don't
       have multiple cylinders to share the load. Gas cans are prone to
       water collecting because most are vented. (air is full of water)
       If you have gas in a can for more then a month or so & its not
       sealed well its likely it has some water in it. Now to really
       stir the crap... Run ethanol! I've run it in everything I own &
       have never had a water problem (alcohol absorbs water). E30 is
       also about 97 octane, way cheaper then premium & runs great in
       my 690.  Either that or could it have been overheated? The 690
       has a overheat mode that limits power to about 30%...
