If you look close enough you can clearly see some fire coming out of the exhaust. Those PC bikes suck big time

This was on RacerX, interviews from Oakland...
RacerX: Maybe the fuel injector, some sort of electrical problem. And then did it come right back and was fine after that?
Dean: Yeah, it came back but…


Racer X: You still tripled before the finish.
Dean: Yeah but it was definitely scary because that last half a lap, I’m still trying to push to win this thing but in the back of my mind I’m like, I don’t want this bike to die on me off a triple or something. So it was kind of scary, but I just rode it out.

I was looking for the RED CROSS flag when he rolled the jump. Sucks big time , would have closed the championship up a bit more.
There was a marshal at the base of the take off that was just putting away his flags.... The first time I saw it I thought he didn't jump because he wasn't sure if a no jump flag was up.... I would think all the guys were a bit more concerned about jumping from Anderson's penalty the week before... He just didn't seem to have the body English of a person who hit a false neutral or whos motor cut out...

Shame he didnt finish that sentence, the but probably was that it didnt have much power...obviously though it had enough to jump a triple! lol

he's fuckin' lucky it didn't happen on the face of the triple but rather the air of the little double before it.

bizarre for sure.

not a brain-fart though. Dungey's attempt on RV last week was a brain-fart

Please explain. Are you saying the pump isn't keeping up with the capacity demands? Or is it failing to keep proper injection pressure?
My thought is that excees gas was in the exhaust side when it restarted thus the flame - cause no idea
