At the end of a long drive on the Autobahn it suddenly happened that the ignition failed from time to time and the idle was too low - all this only at partial (moderate) engine load.
My dealer exchanged the spark plug with connectors (spelling?) twice under terms of warranty. It was ok for a while but then it happened again after a longer ride.
I found out later that the springs inside the rubberhoses that are attached to the spark plug connectors were too short. Sorry for my spelling - I do not have a drawing to post.
After lengthening them the bike is running fine.
Anyone of you experienced the same? My dealer said that I was the only one with such a problem so far.

I think that you are the first for that, however the more information on the bikes, the better.

BTW: Your spelling is correct. (unlike mine sometimes) :)

Yes, but can you say it in German?
