Eyup buddy, so you've been keeping busy...... other than freezing in the garage thinking about a warm beach somewhere 😂, its always some sensor on newer bikes it was the same with my mates, he has put some colour matching fuel pipe on (as you do 😐) and give the tps a bump, it would only rev so high then start popping and cut out, all I did was unplug and plug it back in on the off chance and it was fine after that lol, not been a problem since. Good to see you again and it will soon be time to get the bikes back out 👍
Hi Dave... Not been busy riding - the weather has been absolutely abysmal, so gave up and decided to do my first four stroke rebuild! I'd been unsure whether to do it myself or take it to a local mechanic who knows what he's doing, but ultimately decided to take the plunge and do it myself. Had a couple of issues (another short vid to come) but got the job done, learned a lot and will certainly be easier next time. Still, as a slow and careful home mechanic I reckon it'll take a full day next time, vs half that on my two strokes. That said she was all in good nick internally and was no where near desperately needing a new piston despite 85 hours running. I guess that's the benefit of 5 hour oil changes and being a vet and not being on the rev limiter all the time ;)!!
