Whilst out riding the bike last, within 5 minutes the bike just stopped in the middle of the road. Spark plug fine/oil level fine/fuel fine/ any idea's people please
Hi , I will stand to be corrected on this one but i had a similar problem with a little 125 i had in that the battery was not getting charged and the electrical system becomes a total loss system ie it totally drains the power and gets to the point where there was not enough power for a spark ! so i would take a look to see if the battery is ok ? hope this helps , good luck , kev
Spark plug may look ok, but are you getting a decent spark from it?
May have to take plug out, and earth it on the frame - try starting the bike and see if it gives a decent spark.
Battery finally nearly flat with tryig toget it started, filled engine oil up/battery charging. Will try the spark plug thing tomorrow and then go from there. Thanks guys your stars for your suggestions, so want to go for a ride.
Hi Justme
Have a look at the fuel filter. It could be not enough fuel getting thru or your the breather pipe is blocked. Or it could be a HT lead breaking down when it get hot
My Triumph did the exact same thing last week,that was a split vacuum hose from the carburettors to the fuel tank-if the hose splits the pipe doesn't hold pressure,then no fuel gets to the carbs
