Hi Guys, hope someone out there can help. I brought a 2008 gen 2 bussa with 20.000 miles on it, accident damaged (had been rear ended, needed rear wheel and swinging arm) she had been parked up for 3 years and was in a mess. fitted new swinging arm and wheel, fresh petrol, new battery oil and filter and she fired straight up.
Sounded a little rough and small vibration through the bars, but not bad, ran her up to temp, fans kicked in just above half way on temp gauge, and revved up freely.
Thought time for a slow test run, pulling away felt really rough, almost misfiring at low revs, got into 2nd and she cut out, noticed temp gauge was in the red, (Check warning on the centre clock) turned key off and back on temp gauge at normal she started up, pulled away running rough (misfiring) got into 3rd and she cut out, temp gauge in the red again, ignition on/off temp gauge normal. pushed her home.
Took side panels, air box and plugs out, plugs fine (nice shad of light brown) air box and filter clean, checked coolant level and expansion tank, both fine, started her up, run up to temp fan cuts in just above half way on the gauge, ticks over ok ish just a little vibration.
No F1 light, No dealer codes, any idea where I go form here, apart from the mad house.
