went to spain today had a few erons to do and i thought water jet the triumph
done it before with no problems
except this time i did have a problem starting it up again the bike shop next door gave me some wd40 and it spluttered into life and died on me
i went for a coffee let her dry out a bit
i got back started the bike up and rode of a kilometer up the road the thing gave out a big bang and stopped pulling so i pulled over by a secound hand car garage the guy there shouted at me that the bike was on fire yes FIRE
he had a hose pipe and put the flames out
the exhaust just went up in flames behind the chrome cover
the pipes now sound luverly but are totally blue black gold
i'm quite proud of my non yellowing headers and they still are nice and chrome but the right pipe is gone no holes but all the colours of the rainbow
like i said sounds lovely i dont know what caused it suppose water in the system
THE MORAL OF THIS well if you water jet the bike let her dry properly
or your bike could go up in flames
