Had a pretty close call on my bike today (on private property) doing about 120 -140 (ie max speed on klr 600), throttle just went dead and motor felt weird and then conked out so i let off throttle and down shifted to roll start it (must of gone down two gears or something) the rear wheel went into a compression lock for about two seconds and back came out a bit..... Damn close call...after that bike was running fine --0 it was really weird as i have never had anything like this happen b4? maybe it was just a bubble in the fuel lines or something?

Any of you bike riders had this happen to you before?

I think next time i will just hold the clutch and pull over (bit safer mez thinks!!)

happened on my zx7R, iced carbs.............. common problem with the late 90's ZXR's.

Winters weekend day, cool air, long ride, loss of engine power, down a few cogs to slow it down, lock rear wheel (where was the slipper clutch in the 90's LOL), big slide, no power, BAM on it comes with compression, black snakey all down the road (oh and black undies too). Pull to side of road and let the carbs warm up again.

WOOHOOO Got the 6.1 Hemi 300C :D in today. there are only subtle changes from the standard 5.7 (like the extra 68kw) the main thing are the 20 inch wheel with monsterous brembo brakes. I would easily get one of these beasts over a FPV or HSV. Got to say this is one of the only good things about my job :P

Can't wait to get the jeep equivelant 0-100 in 5 seconds - take that Holden a 2 tonne 4wd is faster than the GTS

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
