Hi there! I was out on a ride this afternoon which was great but then on my way home down the A14, where I was overtaking in the outside lane, I suddenly lost all power and was forced to pull over. I was doing about 80mph and was in 4th gear I think, so it must have been at around 10k revs. I then couldnt get it started again, then realised my milometer/fuel gauge was at 120 miles, which is nearing empty. I was only a few miles home so I got someone to run out some unlkeaded in a jerry can for me, but still she wouldnt start. I played around with the fuel tap, but even on 'on' it wouldnt start. About 15 minutes later it just about started, however wouldnt idle I really had to rev it, i set off and took my junction, came to the top of the slip road and it cut out again. I couldnt start it again (even with the help of a nice bloke on a CBR600 who kindly stopped), but i pushed it to a hill and bump started it (eventually) but it only worked when I was flying down this hill (which is very long and steep!). I went to turn right into my road and as I slowed and dropped down to 2nd it cut out again so I pushed it home.
sorry about the long winded story but i hope you are able to help! It was running fine up to now, and i just had a 300quid service including carbs cleaning. I did around 500 miles on it last week over 3 days and it was perfect- it seems strange it would turn nasty on me after a short afternoon ride!
I have left it to cool now for a couple hours but still nothing. It just make the usual noise when you press the starter but never actually fires up...
Help urgently needed as I need to go to work tomorrow!
cheers
