Thruxton Winter Blue's

i've not been on my 15 plate 900 thruxton for about 3 months, left it with 3/4 of a tank of fuel, stated it up this morning & it seemed to be running on one cylinder, it was running lumpy, after a couple of back fire's she came to life,i decided to take it out to see if it would sort itself out,it ran as if you were running out of fuel,i removed the seat to remove the fuel tank to empty it out & start off with new fresh fuel,i couldn't disconnect the wire connector or the main fuel pipe,i decided to give up on that idea & syphoned about 5 litre's out,i went to my local garage & topped it up with new fuel.i've never had this problem prior to this, gonna take it out on a good run tomorrow to see if it clears on it's own accord.is there a fuel filter on these, if so where is it situated.

 

i use super unleaded all the time.

 

no need to get your COAT,all advice is good advice.

 

i hope there ain't a dead rat in there.lol.

 

just a quick update,i syphoned out about 5 litre's, topped it up with fresh PREMIUM UNLEADED & it's all back to normal.running as it should.

 

i'm a little dubious about adding this to the fuel.

have you tried this in your bike,i'm a little dubious with using additive's.maybe i should ride it more often.

 

thank's for your help.i will get a couple of bottle's.i will also try it in my peugeot 308 diesel.

 

thanks DOZERS DAD,i've just ordered 4x155ml bottle's.thank's for your feedback, it's appreciated.

 

thank's again.

 

a pal of mine who's a mechanic has told me to try using BP ULTIMATE UNLEADED as it carry's less additives,i've also seen a product online called sea foam,maybe that's another option.

 

i put this in my 2010 Peugeot 308 diesel a couple of week's ago it had it's MOT today, its got 162,000 miles on the clocks was told the emission's were low,GREAT RESULT.
