Hi All and Happy New year, good riding in the Southern Hemisphere and hope the winter in the Northern side of the world is short.
Need some collective wisdom please - bike is a 2009 version with only 6,000kms on the clock, rode at the end of last Summer/Autumn - June 2016 down here, and all was OK.
Had a lay-off with injury for a few months. Washed the bike ready for a ride in January it started, and off we went - grand. 10kms in it stalled. Started again, then stalled (few times) got going and struggled back home.
Figured first it would be the 'old spark plug cap issue' - so rang my dealer, he checked and they were done by the first owner in 2011 - to be sure I ordered some more and replaced them with NGK's. Fitted those ok but still stalling (will stall from tickover) - sits on 1100 rpm fine - misses a beat or two then stalls. I can get it back to my dealer, but that is 90 mins ride away - so looking for any ideas or where I could look to check for issues I can resolve.
Thanks guys and galls
