I've been using my motorbike to commute to work on sunny days the last few weeks. It is 17 miles each way and I have over 500 miles on the engine. It has been purring like a kitten -- in fact I just installed the Manic Mechanic hub adapter last night and cruised into work today at 30 mph.
On the way home, it was purring like a kitten as usual and when I got about 6 miles from home, it died on me out of nowhere. I thought, **** out of gas. Look in the tank and it's a quarter full!!!
Tried to start it again, no luck. Changed the spark plug to my spare, no luck. Disconnected the kill switch, no luck.
Commenced to pedal home.
After a few miles, tried to start it again. It fired up slightly, went 30-40 feet and died again.
Finished pedaling home.
What the heck is going on?
