fuel filter ?

[andy mac]

3 mornings in a row bike has conked out in exactly the same place after about a mile and wont restart for 5 mins,tempted to blame fuel filter, after it does restart no probs Any shedders of light out there ps it does need a new battery

check the fuel tank breather isnt blocked or the pipe isnt crushed, next time it stops, open the fuel cap & listen for air being sucked into the tank, then see if it will re-start immediately.

Desmo.

at least not in fuel or breather pipes but problem persists very annoying

Carb icing is possible...........

and bypassed it no change new plugs and battery but still stops after amile and restarts after 5mins and then no problems its boring me now some body on here said injection bikes cant ice up and its stored indoors overnight so i am at a loss

[andy mac]

i could take the bloody thing out and thrash it for an hour:) :) when this rain stops long enough

have a look under the tank cap and make sure the little rubber chimney/tube is lining up with the hole

Check all the fuses. I had this several years ago with a Honda. The main fuse had a poor connection so it would overheat and cut out. Once the bike had cooled down a little it would restart OK. Took me ages to figure out what it was.

had a similar prob mine ended up being the fuel hose was fitted the wrong side of the other hose stopping the filter from spinning wonce you have lowered the tank not sure about sparks though ( have you checked ht leads for kinks or breaks?)

checked with meter both seem ok replaced all fuses bypassed sidestand and kill switch still engine spins but no spark ,pick up coils perhaps i have run out of ideas:
