A similar thing happened to the gentleman that purchased my 2017 RX3. I never rode it much as it had only about 1200-1500 miles when sold, and within a few days after buying it he posted that during a freeway run the bike backfired, lost power, and flames were coming from the exhaust. He got safely off the freeway and the bike started back up and ran well enough to get back home. Upon inspection he discovered chunks of something in the fuel tank. It ended up being chunks of the glue that held the fuel pump together.
I guess me letting it sit up for so long allowed the "gasohol" to break up that glue substance.
