Hey everyone,
Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. When on a highway and traveling at full throttle, my 2021 CT125 (which has about 12k miles) is randomly cutting out like it’s not getting gas. It does this only for a second then recovers then It will do it again a few seconds later like it's not getting any gas. Once I slow down then it’s fine. I thought I might have bad fuel but I have filled it up several time and it's still happening. I havent seen any posts about this yet and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I think I read there is a gas filter built into the bottom of the tank and wondering if it might be getting clogged up or something maybe wrong with the fuel injector? Anyone have any ideas?
My CT125 has just now started doing the exact same thing with brief cut outs at high revs. Did you manage to diagnose your issue at all Jose? Thanks, Mike

Have you checked to make sure the battery cable connections are not loose?

I did! It took awhile but what I figured out that all it was that the throttle cable just needed to be tighten. Basically with it lose that it would pull the cable to far and it would over rev and shut down the engine. All you have to do is follow these easy directions to fix it. Good luck!
