    motor 'hiccups' and in some cases is turned off.

    Hi,
    I'm riding a 2013 VFR 1200. On the past month the motor 'hiccups' and in some cases  is turned off.
    At the motor repair shop  they cleaned the fuel filter but issue still happens.
    When they connect to the motorcycle computer, no errors appear.
    Any idea is highly appreciated!

    What is the state of maintenance?
    And then especially when where the sparkplugs and airfilter changed?
    Does the ABS light blinks after starting the bike or just illuminates? When blinking it can mean the battery is dying.
    Loose ground on the battery also is common and can cause these problems.

    Have werry similar problem, motor diy driwing, not startin after that.
    Problem was the (main) red wire which goes to the big fuse. The wire had werry bad connection to fuse and wire was just desintegrated from cable shoe on fuse to app 10cm !!
    Wire must be shorten and replace with new one, after that works ok (knock, knock)

    The problem starts because the connection bolt wasnt tighten enough or cable wasnt squesed in cable shoe. Anny hov, the wire resistance rise and wire owerheat and desintegrate....
    Hope it helps

    I would be interested in hearing more about the fuel filter, first time it was mentioned on this forum!
    Is it internally in the tank?, is it a filter or gauze please.
    This problem sounds electrical as suggested.
