A friend recently had a lot of problems with his bike misbehaving. It was an intermittent problem which came and went. In the end it turned out to be just a blocked fuel filter.
Having cleaned
out all of the goop which had accumulated on the old filter the problem went
away and hasn’t reappeared, although that might be down to fitting an additional
external filter which gets cleaned regularly.
Many years ago I used to work for the
oil company ESSO, so believe me when I tell you that you should never, ever
fill up in a petrol station if there’s a tanker lorry on the forecourt. Over
the years the underground fuel tanks in petrol stations get all sorts of
contaminants in them, water, rust, sand etc.
When the tanker delivers its load
of fuel all that rubbish gets stirred up and goes swirling around in the
underground tanks. If you fill up at this point all of that rubbish ends up in
your bike.
So, be warned.
