Still need advice on the cutting out issue please.

[Axel]

Posted a week ago but only one reply which directed me to another site, no luck there so posting this again, I am sure one of you must have had a similair problem at some time or another.. Any brainboxes just got back off your hols know what the answer is here please?

F650 gs

Wierd but true, runs well usually, starts everytime no probs but this last few days its started to just cut out upon deceleration, if I slow for a junction and pull the clutch in it decides not to revert to tickover but instead, just for fun no doubt, to stop altogether.. leaving me either bumping it while there is any forward momentum left or keeping the clutch in and hitting the starter, which works but sooner or later will that pack in too? Apart from the obvious embarassment the real concern is the safety aspect, cutting out with some nutter right up me ass expecting me to pull off could be very nasty indeed.

Its a 2000 with 14k on the mileage, all well serviced and cared for. One suggestion was to check the wiring leaving the key barrel but that is ok with no damage or corrosion. The battery connections also are in great condition. The tickover runs steady at 13-1500 revs.......

I am totally at a loss, can anyone help at all?

Is there an inline fuel filter fitted Axel? I would start with that and also check that any tank breather pipes etc are all clear. Apart from those I can't think offhand what it may be, sorry.

Hi Axel, I can't give you an answer I'm afraid but I had a few problems a while ago (not exactly like yours but poor running related) and what I tried to get it fixed is listed here

Have a look and maybe you will see something. I've organised a little diagnostic tool for myself for the next time I get problems, I know a few of the guys in England have them so perhaps you could blag a lend and read the faults?

Anyway good luck with your problem.

Always worth checking the side stand cutout switch

Yeah, My 2001 dak does do it occasionally but not as bad as you describe. I think this has been raised before and mostly put down to battery connection or I believe someone suggested a wire being frayed in the area of the headstock. A search of the site should hind it .
