Guys
Before Xmas I jet washed the bike and then stored it in a fairly humid shed until the new year - result took several miles to run even normally..... It's a 2009 bike of some 46,000 miles and has always run well until now.
Now 5 weeks later of commuting I've an intermittent low speed misfire - more like a slow speed cough stall I used to get on my old 525 Katie.
So the plan is, having bought a spare coil, to test all the coils, dry, strip and clean the wiring above the engine (spraying GT85 here caused a misfire)and maybe spray it with electrical sealer. I'm hoping that the problem is caused by a coil breaking down. Does this make sense?
Before I take the bike apart is there anything else I need to be looking at?
Many thanks
