Hi there!
As from my ride report about the Karoo trip, the GS did it again this morning.
Last night I rinsed some mud from the engine and wheels (also some dust from the rest).
No pressure hose - just a normal hosepipe with the gardena nozzle.
I took it for a 10 km ride last night and then this morning it once again burped and farted a good couple of times before I managed to get it started.
It died then another 1 k later (you know its going to be a hard start when a boxer does that sideways shake before it dies...). Struggled a bit to get it going and then from there it was perfect again (15 k's to work)
I must also say that twice in the Karoo trip the bike had ice on it during the night and it didn't miss a beat on starting in the morning.
Now as much as I would like to have an excuse to not wash my bike, this isn't an ideal situation.
Any advice ?
Anything that I can douse in Q20 or the like ?
