I've had this bike for a little over a year now and have had the same problem. When I am cruising just under 3000 Rpm's, the bike will almost misfire on me and then resume. Replaced the plugs and made sure they were gapped correctly but that did not work. Almost sounds like the sound is coming from the air intake? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do a search here for testing intake seals. Sounds like you have a damaged intake seal.

Thanks for the info Joe. I will try that and see if it makes it go away.

I know this is an old post but I just bought a 99 S3T this past weekend and it is having the same exact issue as described above. Did anyone figure out what the solution was?
