Was a really good day out and yes I love that Desmosedici and that noise.

Was good to meet you guys again and thanks Scotty yes I got home with no more cutting out. I did wonder about wires at the headstock, but Im just hoping fresh petrol may have been the answer so fingers crossed.

Hope its not too long before our next meet.

Good to see you again. Regarding your bike problem, they always reckon that 90% of breakdowns are electrical. Get a can of ACF 50 and spray all your connections. With the bike running, pull and tug your harness in and around the headstock area and also check the connections around the engine and fusebox areas. You might find something....it just seemed strange the way the bike just stops? The only other electical thing to think of is the immobiliser circuit or alarm if you have one fitted. Suppose it'll develop in time one way or another.

Namb,

Id rather have that 750 Ratbike that someone (Scotty) was on!

A lot more character, and cheaper!

Yep Scottys bikes definately got some character, but I know what you mean you can have just as much fun on a bike that costs very little.

Thanks Mark for your suggestions, I will have a check round all of the connections as you have suggested as it was very sudden and then just cleared so could very well be a bad connection.
