Cuts out when warm

[Ade81]

Hi all,

Got a problem with the storm that only seems to happen after about half an hour of riding when fully warmed up. It's ok up until that point and then decides to start running badly, stalling and dying and generally leaving me stranded until it's cooled down enough to splutter home. It ticks over ok but as soon as I try and go anywhere it has none of it. Start it again the next day for the ten minute ride to work - no bother.


I was thinking maybe the coils starting to fail?? Has anyone had this problem?

Next time it happens open the fuel filler and listen for inrushing air.
Sounds more like a partial fuel feed blockage or airlock.

Try checking the kickstand switch.

Thanks, will check both.
Cheers for the link Thunderchicken, spent ages searching for something like that!

Bypassed the kickstand switch today and went for a spin, bike ran spot on. No cutting out or spluttering, so thought I'd try plugging it back in to see if it came back. It didn't. I'd done a good twenty miles or so with no issues at all.

It must have not been plugged in properly or a bad connection, either way the problem seems to be gone

Thanks for the help guys
