  1. Gave the ss900 a good ride only for it to die on me once again.
    Feels like it’s a fuelling problem.
    Spanner time!

  2. Have you set the trip or make note to see if it is the same miles before it stops?

  3. It’s more troublesome when on the motorway, unfortunately.
    Plenty of revs means plenty of fuel consumption, it’s as if the carburettor bowls aren’t filling.
    Pull over and after a minute with the pump running it’s good to go again.
    Checking distance is a good idea though I’ve have to keep to a regular throttle position.
    Just love these old bikes!
    :)

  4. Agree totally. My thought behind it was, are the float bowls filling up to give you an average mileage but when on the move, are the bowls not being filled. I hope you sort it.

  5. I know you will have already checked, but could it be the tank breather?

  7. MOT'd the R32 Golf, lost my brothers car keys at the MOT centre.... found them 45 minutes later.
    Set up the BT DECT phones in the house.


    Then watched UNcut Stones on Netflix.... :zzz::zzz::zzz::zzz: :poop::poop::poop::poop:
    UNless you are into Jewish family black comedies set in New York, biased towards Basket ball and MOBO music.... over 2 hours I've never getting back.

  14. No I haven’t, I imagine it’s just a case of disconnecting the breather pipe from the tank?
     
  15. sometimes it gets trapped if a tank is lifted/removed etc
     
  16. I've also had a breather block just full of crud and the symptoms were running sweet then cut out id give it five and it would be fine ! Cleaned the breather under the tank and she ran sweet, mine was blocked at the outlet the pipe clamps to !

  17. Easiest way to test the theory is to leave the fuel cap unsealed and ride it

  18. I used to open my cap and carbs would fill so I knew it was the breather !
