Default 06 Speed Triple question

Hi All

Last week got on my S3 to go to work as normal however on pulling out of my drive the power died for a split second almost throwing me off balance. The bike didn't stop running just lost all power then got it back again.
After work that day I went out to start the bike up and she wouldn't start until I used a lot of throttle, this has never been needed before. Went to the gym and when leaving there tried to start and wouldn't start again. Used the throttle and she started with one hell of a backfire.
Following day started fine first thing in the morning but same problems again when leaving work and then gym.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Sounds like it could be plugs or coils, firing on 2 cylinders intermittently. I'd check that all three are sparking.

Has the engine management light come on at all? If so its more likely to be the coils rather than the plugs and vice versa.

No engine management light but now also feels like it's losing power more often while riding which I guess backs up the plugs needing changed.
Will hopefully check tomorrow, thanks Girth.

Had something similar on the blade yesterday, pinned it and it briefly dipped in power then picked up again.

Hasn't happened since but I know the plugs are needing changed so I'm going to do that this weekend to see if it helps.

Good luck with it!
