Re: Handguard question

I am using Barkbuster S7 Storms, which are excellent with the added bonus of being easy to fit as they bolt on to the bar ends only so no problems with fouling cables etc. They are very rigid and give plenty of protection

Re: Bike has died

HURRAH!!!! Having exposed the innards of the tank relatively easy I am delighted to say that the issued stared me in the face. Cyclerob, you were spot on!! The hose from the filter to the pump had come off at the pump end. Everything looked good in there and it had obviously never been apart. Maybe ...

Re: Bike has died

Picked up new fuel filter, sealing ring and 2 pipe clips today from Motobins so set for at least a filter change at the weekend which hopefully might do the trick. Is there any way of checking the pump when I have the innards exposed and I presume the serviceability of the gauze bag on the pump will...

Re: Bike has died

I am in the UK. I don't know if the filter has been replaced since the bike was new so despite the exceptionally low mileage this could be an issue. Looking through the filler cap the tanks looks fine but I appreciate that it is the lower extremities where any issue might be.

Re: Bike has died

Thanks Folks ...... I will delve into the innards of the tank on my next day off and hopefully find something untoward! My only reservation is that it has run well up to now with several tanks of fresh fuel recently. I would have expected the filter to clog a little less suddenly. If the pipe has ru...

Re: Bike has died

I have swoped the fuses early on just in case and they all seemed ok. I guess I need to take your advice with an injector next..... Cheers

Re: Bike has died

Yes the pump ran on switching on and there was a spark from both pots checked separately. (bluish white I would say), however there does not seem to be fuel getting through as the plugs are dry. When I split the quick disconnects there is only a vey small trickle from them. If I turn it over with th...

Re: Bike has died

Cheers guys .... I will change the fuse although they all look ok and the pump does run briefly as it should when the ignition is first turned on. As for the fuel it has been used recently and did 250 miles ok on Saturday so I think the tank is ok.

Bike has died

Hi folks ...... my 2003 non ABS R850R has die on me and I am baffled! I rode 250 glitch free miles on Sunday and came back enthused looking forward to the summer. I decided to use the bike for work on Monday and again there were no issues on the way to work .....on the way home after about 12 miles ...
