Hi all,
Yesterday I went for a spin into the country but after 40k's my bike just died. I pulled over to the side of the road and looked for any obvious problems but after two minutes it started up again.
This isn't he first time this has happened btw but it's it's been so infrequent I haven't bothered to look for the problem.
Yesterday though instead of re-starting and keeping on going, it did it about 5 times. So it starts, I get on and take off but after about one or two k's, same thing happens, it just dies. No spluttering or any signs of life, nothing.
I would really appreciate any suggestions but before you do, I have either had recently replaced, fixed or checked the following:
I have just replaced the regualtor / recifier
- Just replaced the plugs
- the plug leads are good quality and replaced recently.
- I've taken the hidden fuel filter out and replaced with a cleanable type. Yesterday I took out the filter insert and blew through it to make sure it wasn't clogged.
- I have a breathable fuel cap.
- It was a fine day yesterday so the problem has nothing to do water etc
- All the squirrel condoms are top quality which I treat with rubber conditioner so they don't crack.
- Kill switch was checked
- Battery connections are good as I have a new battery.
So, has anyone go any ideas. Like I said, this problem has happened intermittently before which makes me think it is electrical such as the cdi or something.
I really would like this fixed cos now I don't trust taking my bike for a tour or even a spin for fear I'll be stuck on the side of the road again.
thanks heaps for any suggestions.
