Title: Squeaky Bum Time
Post by: lew600fazer on 04 July 2016, 02:38:45 pm
Has this ever happened to you? This morning I was out having a thrash really enjoying myself. Needed a pee (old age) anyway being in France decided to do what the french do, pulled over and did what I needed to do. Back on the bike and away like a bat out of hell. In A mode and loving it. Closing up on a truck rapidly and just gets past him and the fucker dies on me. Thankfully my slightly, over the national speed limit was enough to keep me out of harms way. I looked at the instrument cluster and nothing. Reached for the ignition key and found it had switched itself off, or rather I had not fully turned it on, diffo an oh fuck moment. Must have been me as it has never happened before and after two more hours did not happen again.[/size][/color]

Not with the ignition keys, but have run out of fuel at a similar moment. Que quickly switching to reserve before I slowed down too much.

I had it happen years ago on a 400/4 Honda, 2 up overtaking an artic truck on a dodgy enough road heading to a rally and the foccing thing spluttered and died,  :eek we hit a small bump the thing back fired and took off again. ran fine the rest of the way.
When we got to the rally I lifted the tank to check the wiring since I had changed the handlebars the day before. Sure enough the kill switch connectors were not pushed together properly.
Lesson learned, always ensure you feel the click when pushing connectors together.  :thumbup
