I was going to say it might be bad fuel. Not all gas stations sell a ton of premium gas so if you got gas at a non busy station could be old fuel.

Many times its just the belt, it seems once they hit 500-700 hard mountain miles, they will show about 200+ rpm drop, a fresh belt and rpm is back. Maybe they get softer with repeated heat cycles...??

The gas ran fine in the 2015 T4 that I rode with, we are carefull about gas station and age of gas. reed valves good, one tip was chipped they were covered in a light oil film, replaced with V force. Pulled rave valves they were a little covered in oily residue cleaned them. Going to take it in and have it scanned by Doo tomorrow. I keep the belt deflection tight, don't take chances with Doo clutches after 2007 clutch nightmare. Only 850 km on my sled.

Thanks for all the ides fellas, I was thinking if this was an injector, bad fuel, TPS ect would it not flash a code? I don't think it was a fuel quality issue as I had 3 tanks from 3 different stations and ran the same.

If it was bad fuel it may just go into a different fuel map to save the motor which would make it run poorer.
