Refusing to rev and then cut out
Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2017 5:53 pm
Just had a very strange issue with the falco on my way home from work.
Filter up to the front of a set of lights, when they change, accelerate up through first, change into second, accelerate, change into third. Try to accelerate, but the bike refuses to rev. Pull the clutch in, the bike dies. Refuses to turn over.
Pull over, while feeling the glare of everyone I've just filtered past as I've not held them up!
Switch off the ignition, push the starter and she spins up, fires, and proceeds to get the rest of the way home as if nothing had happened.
No errors or warnings on the dash.
First thoughts are either tilt switch (though this wasn't moved when I serviced it a few weeks back) and possible fuel pimp issue, as I've had something similar before, bit it's never cut out like this and then refused to turn over without an ignition reset.
Typically, It's MOT day tomorrow!
Any other ideas?
