Good idea on the RBF600, that's what I run. Yes, I'm accepting reps !
Hmmmm, I think you may be on to something. I didn't even consider fuel starvation because I was around 3/4 tank. It happened twice at turn 7 which is a hard right hander and a 4th to 2nd shift point. Both times it happened, I had just experienced oversteer in second, shifted to second, and just about to enter the braking zone before turn 8. Fuel starvation makes sense. Have you figured out how to stop the problem? When you do, let me know. Too bad I ordered a larger oil cooler yesterday.
