Revs drop away for 1/4 second or so in top gear

Plugs are cheap so replace them anyway but I doubt they are causing an intermitent problem. Check connectors wiring, battery terminals etc.
Fruiting about with the sidestand when you are sat still won't show up any possible problems as the sidestand switch usualy doesn't do anything unless you are in gear with the clutch out, hard to do when stationary unless you have the bike on a centerstand. Not familiar enough with Hyosungs to know if it has one if it has try wobbling the sidestand with the back wheel spining. If you put the stand down and the engine cuts out you haven't found the problem, everything is doing what it should.

In reply to the many replies - thanks guys...


- It could be water in the electrics - the first time it happened it was raining lightly when I was riding from Wgtn to the Hutt on the way to my full licence practical test!!

- could be the spark plugs. i can pull them out - how can I tell whether they're stuffed or not?

- I doubt its the sidestand - when idling my bike before, I gave my sidestand a nudge in all directions and nothing happened.

- I'll try the WD40 - as it happens I bought a big can on the weekend. I've heard its good for lots of things, just not as a chain lubricant. And no, i'm not getting an italian bike. But I really likes the looks of the Bandit 650 or the SV650...

- I don't think / hope its the hyosung flat spot feature. I've had the bike for just under a year, and its been good til now.

cheers

Test ride both the bandit and the sv before you make a decision
