The mighty BR250 died on me this morning. It was going ok on the highway, then suddenly just died. Like someone flicked the kill switch, except it backfired several times on the way to a dead stop. Water temp was normal, plenty of fuel. Nothing in the coolant, no oil, no bubbles. Compression was fine. I just left it for ten minutes while I'm making calls to get rescued and gave it another kick, and it started first go. Rode it the 50kms home, didn't skip a beat. I had been riding it pretty hard in the few minutes before it died so it was probably my fault, but I'm just curious what made it stop and why it was able to go first go ten minutes later. Any ideas? -- Cheers Dave (Mojo67) FZR600 >> ZX6R Brisbane http://users.bigpond.net.au/mojo67/mojo67.htm I used to never be able to finish anything but now I
Fuel filter or fuel-cap breather? Normally there's enough trickle to keep your carbie fed but after a fair thrash the outgoing exceeded the incoming and you ran dry. Leaving it 10 mins would've let it catch up again (or, if it was the breather, opening the cap to check the petrol would've relieved the pressure.)
Crap in float bowl, clogged filter, something floating about in the airfilter, coil on the way out, plug loose, dodgy connection on the HT. LT side of things, loose batt connections? Check em all..... HTH Hammo
My Trumpy used to do that! It'd get about 13km and then cut out and refuse to budge for 20mins. Faark it gave me the shits!
