Same problem
Hi there
I have an 04 GZ with only 2850 miles on the clock, and in the last month or so it has starting doing exactly the same as yours, always seems to be first thing in the morning on the way to work, and usually when I am trying to merge with traffic on the motorway - not a good time to lose power! It is quite intermittant, most days fine, then suddenly does the lose power thing out of the blue. I thought it might have been related to the colder weather, but I usually have ridden for 5- 10 minutes before getting onto the m'way so should be warmed up by then.
It seems to always lose power at around 80km/hr (I think that is about 45mph!?) then will pick up after about 30-40 seconds. Also had a few episodes of backfiring when I release the accelerator in 5th gear when slowing down or coasting downhill.
It is coming up due for the 3000 mile service so will get the bike shop to check it out. I certainly hope it isn't the clutch at this low milage!!
