Hi All;
Long time since been on here. I have an issue that I have noticed for a few years now, and this weekend really bugged me.
It appears I loose power at Altitude.
I live at +600m (~2000ft) ASL, and work at +50m ASL, and whenever I visit the high country which is starting at +1500->1860m (4900->6000ft) ASL, I start to notice the power issues.
The symptoms are; accelerating through 2nd, 3rd, i'll get what feels like "mis-fires" or micro steps in power, or where the revs momentarily hold revs then continue to climb. Generally speaking while flicking through the corners, it gets your attention but it's gone as quick as it appears. For the last 4-5years i've been noticing it, it hasn't really bothered me, and each time I put it down to spark plugs, or something else.
This weekend, I noticed it more attempting a wheelie for a photo op.
On initial take off from stationary, it was obvious to me the bike just wasn't lurching forward like usual. Attempting the wheelie itself (power-ups), the front never lifted. Several attempts and my mates bagging me out, I resigned.
Next day, also hot, back at lower Altitude, straight up no issues.
My only thought is a defective oxy sensor that isn't throwing an error code?
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Bike; '08 Daytona, only mods are the intake flap permanently opened (pipe blocked).
