So a quick one for the xmas holidays. My bonnie died whilst idling. I'm not too worried as it is a one off so far.
I was moving it on my drive (slight incline) and fiddling with the steering lock as I'm leaving her for a couple of days.
Anyway, I was off the bike whilst it was idling (max 5 min). The kick stand was down, I didn't touch any switches and I doubt it wan't running very hot. It just died, no chuggers, no dramas.
It has a full tank, I haven't fiddled with anything recently, just ran some carb cleaner through the tank.
It started fine straight after, temp is around 30 degrees at the time so the engine is never truly cold cold but it was running for about 3 min after it died. The choke was off - never had to use this and unsure on idle setting, it doesn't have a tachometer so am unsure on revs, but again I haven't adjusted this.
Hello
Sounds like a one off that should not give rise to concern. Idle may be set a little low, try increasing it a nudge. I do not think that you have a real problem but keep us informed...........good luck.
Oops my bad! I should have looked closer, your 30c isn't our 30f.
