Re: D1 Problems Running

Probably related to fuel being contaminated with water. Like suggested, empty the tanks and bowls if you store the bike for a longer period. If not water will accumilate underneath in the tank and will cause all kinds of issues. Why not take it for a regular spin, and put some fresh fuel in the tank...

Re: Cool cylinder

So I guess we'll have to wait untill you're there... Anyway, I would check the downpipe temperature, if it becomes hot after starting at least you have some spark and some fuel. If it's cold check for a wet plug, if so then it's an iginition (or dead plug issue. If it's warm then again check the col...

Re: Cool cylinder

Not so cool... (expected to see a picture of a cool cilinder ;) ) Did you perform any diagnostics? Could be a lot of things causing this behaviour. Did you (carefully) feel the downpipe temperature? I've had it that it e.g. was stone cold. Caused by a dead spark plug. Did you inspect the sparkplug, ...

And it took only little effort to start it and just a few min...

Re: Minter 1100 6500 Miles Nearly as good as mine :)

I wonder about the same. Petrol is on its way out... I guess this means the end of our hobby at the end, I hope this will happen way after I'm gone though. I'm currently driving a hybrid leased car (beamer...) I reckon this will be the last petrol based one. But boy o boy what a great car this is, b...
