Hi everyone,
I've had my bike for 6 years it's a 2007 Triumph Bonneville T-100 with 27k and it's never given me any real problems other than
the occasional oil leak however for the past 2 weeks the bike has been giving me a lot of grieve. The bike shuts down while I'm riding it doesn't happen quickly but slowly and it doesn't happen everyday but it does happen sporadically. It feels like the bike is running out of gas even though I have a full tank. I give it throttle but the bike doesn't speed up and within a few seconds it starts to struggle and shuts down. And even if it doesn't shutdown it sometimes feels like it wants to. (Electrical system is working during shutdown) When it does shutdown I usually wait a few seconds before rebooting the bike and this helps so I haven't been stranded yet . On a side note the shutdown happens regardless of whether the bike engine is cold or hot. The first time I took it in to the shop my mechanic noticed that there was water in the tank mixed with gasoline so he clean out the tank filled it with gas and that help for 3 days but then the problem started again. Its back in the shop he's going to look at it again tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem.
