Me being the nice guy that I am... Was down in the Leeds Hein Gericke having a scout around, as you do, trying to find something to spend my brass on. Got speaking to Roger, the manager, who has a 1150 GS.
Blah, blah blah and he says he's having trouble with his bike. So, says I, go straight to the UKGSER site and there many a kind so9ul there that'll help out with problem, send piccies, instructions etc.
But says Roger, "I dont have a computer at home and I'm no good with them anyway. Looks like I'll need to get the CBR out again."
To save him from this awful dilema, I offered to post here and send him any replies to the shop where he can see them.
The problem is : 02 reg 1150, I think with about 20k on the clock. He refuelled yesterday and the bike has developed a pronounced splutter, running rough. We went outside for him to show me (he can do this- he's the manager). The bike was running rough, would'nt clear it's throat even when warmed up. Aparently it was trying to die at lights etc and it was difficult to keep going. Roger said it was running better than in the morning but it still was rough. I noticed that there was like an electrical double click coming from under the right hand side of the tank, this was like every second or third combustion. I thought maybe ignition ?? We pulled the right hand side panel off and there is a slight kink in one of the fuel pipes but not enough to stop fuel flow.
Any ideas out there to help out Roger (and save him from getting his CBR out). I will pass them on. Thanks a lot fro both of us.
