ceder,
Could be several things. I fought a similar problem on my 08 and have narrowed it down to carbs or the relay between the airbox and the oil reservoir. If the relay is not making contact it will not allow the DPM to compensate and it goes full rich and runs like $#@$%. Next time it happens check to see if your headlight and/or speedo are not working either as this relay controls them also. The DPM solenoid could also be sticking, this is a problem on the 09's. Hope this helps.

09 cutting out
Thanks for the info, I did look at the gauges while it was happening and they were working just fine, I dont know about the headlight but the guys I was riding with didnt say anything about it. I did notice that my plug on the clutch side had some oil on the outside of it but I couldnt tell where it came from. I changed plugs just to make sure they were not the problem and they were not.
Thanks, Ceder

A few guys on DT have posted a problem with the DPM having corrosion in the valve and sticking. They have soaked it with WD 40(or your preference), cycled it with a 9v or 12v battery, cleaned, installed it and that solved the problem. Good luck.

Check your air filter
We've seen them get wet and freeze over night. They would run good them bad acting like running on one cylinder. Pull it out, and see if it is soaked also water will be inside of air box from this.
if so simply dry it, and the they will work fine again.
keep it simple.
dpm is doubtful they either fail or work!

It is located right behind the secondary clutch in front of the black air box that is attached to the carbs. Unclip the box from the air intake tube, pull it towards you and it will slide it out. This will give you access to the solenoid. It is silver, you can't miss it once you know where to look.
DPM solenoid located above carbs. It has 4 clear hoses and 1 electrical plug on it. Take it out and spray a little WD-40 into it.

take a feat gun or hair dryer to those clear lines or you will break something... heat makes it a breeze. sj
