weird intermittent hesitation on the TT250

I've been reluctant to ask about this for awhile now because it's so intermittent. In that, I mean at 8k miles it's probably happened maybe 10 times, and hopefully I can accurately explain it.

The best way I can relate is that it feels as if when you are on a bicycle, and the chain slips off for just a brief second. It's only happened in 5th, and only over 45mph, but most often will happen at full throttle when I'm trying to keep up on a 55mph road. Just a real quick "zip" for about half a second where the power is lost and the engine revs, and then immediately back to normal.

I have yet to see something abnormal in my chain or sprockets. I suppose the same thing might happen if I pulled in the clutch for a second, so my best guess is it has something to do with that.

Could this be clutch fade, like I've heard mentioned on these engines? What does that even feel like (or mean, for that matter)?
