Hey everyone, I’ve been having an issue with my 2011 850 as of lately. It seems that once it gets hot it limits itself in both power and rpm (sounds like you’re in reverse without depressing the override button). It does this whether it is in reverse or a forward gear. If I put it in neutral or park it revs just fine and sounds like full power until I place it back into gear. It’s been an intermittent issue the last few weeks. However, yesterday I had to be towed in as it decided to do it again. This time after cutting out for a short period of time, the bike lost complete engine power. At this point the starter wouldn’t even turn over although the bike still had power on the cluster. Once we got home (a couple miles away) it seemed it cooled enough and started/ran like nothing was ever wrong. I’m thinking a possible relay or something getting hot but don’t have the knowledge that some of you may.
One person recommended cleaning throttle position sensor, I figure it doesn’t hurt so I’ll do that soon although I don’t feel that’ll be the solution.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
