Now I've gone through all the easy fixes.

Fuses, comper reset, tested spark, fuel pump. Nothing

Engine turns, exhaust at the manifold get's warm. Nothing. It just phhhffts at stages. Almost like a soft back fire.

Background. Last time I rode, was with the Enduroworld race in Heidelberg. On the way back, bike got hot. Fan not kicking in. Stop, ride, stop, ride.

I see some heat distortion on the engine block near the exhaust outlet. I hope it's not serious.

And I have a long-awaited day-trip on Saturday!!!!  :BangHead:

Anyone with ideas? Short of loading it and taking it to the doctor?
