hi all just thought ide power wash my bike yesterday to get some chain lube off the bottom of the bike but i went all around the engine and got carried away , anyhow it drove fine for about 3 miles then it would not tick over but was ok up revs then it started doing the vtwin thing low revs but was ok up revs then it just got worse and now sounds like a klr 650 ,im so pissed could it be a coincidence or was it the power washer ,, and if it was the power washer where do i start to fix the problem please help any sugestions welcome thanks guys and girls :'(

sounds like you got water under the plug caps. take em off and take the boot off and dry em ;)

What he said *points up*
Likely just the plugs, can check to see if the drainage holes are blocked whilst your at it as well :)

bet your heart sank when it snapped! glad you got the plug out and got your twin back to a four! dont know why plugs etc dont get changed often esp on a bike where you can get to them easy! they arnt that expensive so no reason why they shouldnt get done often

o yes, it was one of those i shouldn't have tightened it that much moments. but all is well that ends well
