No power ?

Sunday I met the wife at out camping property, nice ride up into the foot hills. Love my cruising foot pegs, coming home I was bucking a wind on and off. Road did a slite bend to the North and now the wind was coming at me @ a differant angle. Then, no power  twist the grip nothing. Switched petcock but I was full tanked. Brought my feet back to pegs and zooooom off I go ?  Put my feet up and lost power no matter how far I twisted the grip ?

Looked down to see of the vacume hose came off, Nope.  Wife was fallowing me freeking out, figured I was going to fly off the road. I figured that there was a air flow change to the intake of the air box. Anyone have this experience ?

Maybe wind caused some sort of suction effect that momentarily starved the engine?    Either that or you had a gremlin get caught in the slide.

Jimbo, were you wearing MC Hammer parachute pants, which caused the air to get blocked that was going to your air box when you lifted your legs?

When I put pegs on the engine mounts of my 750, 1st time I put both feet on the pegs the engine started sputtering and losing power.  Removed feet, power back.  Started experimenting and found I could putting 1 foot at a time on the pegs was OK, but both feet on the pegs caused the airflow to be blocked and no power.  Okay with me as I like to stretch the legs just for a short time, one at a time.
