Was out for a wee hoon 2 nights ago and rather late in the evening , and still quite a few miles from home, my pride and joy decided it didn't want to play any more . Mobile phone lying in the kitchen charging too ! Pushed the big brute 2 miles back to local town - which was fun on the uphill section - got to mates house - wasn't in !!!! Pushed it almost another mile to his birds house - mostly downhill this time - nobody home either - oh bugger ! Had enough by this time - full leathers , 20+ degrees and the sweat was running out my boots - left it tucked into her back garden and managed to get my way back home . Well it was recovered yesterday by my local bike gurus and mot man so I will have to go down today to find out what's worst with it
Wish me luck ???
That's a bugger alright! Hope it's not serious / expensive. Good luck.

Is that a euphemism ? :embarassed:
Had to google that one Tony......... :rofl2:
Good luck
Hopefully nothing serious
:cheers:
Hope its easily sorted Scottymac :onya:
Not being a smart arse, but you didn't happen to bump the kill switch by any chance ? That would be a nice easy fix.
Well the message from the people in the know is that it's fixed - not overly serious with it only being a pipe came adrift from the in tank fuel pump - only getting charged about an hours labour they tell me - so not a bad result but also not a side of the road quick fix
Cheers guys
And oh - Fnarr Fnarr !
That's a quick fix.
What year is yours?
I ask because lately a lot of fuel pressure regulators come loose, predominantly of k2's

That's what it sounds like, regulator come adrift. Reckon I may as well do the wire thing before it's needed, so that it's not needed.

This issue seems to be occurring for all models - first thing I think of now when I read something like this - obviously it has happened to my K7 as well!
I don't think the parts changed for the entire production of 14s, K2s are probably failing more as the plastic is getting older etc
Pushing heavy bikes any distance is not fun. Three miles ! Do you people not have bike towing services?
Pleased it was a simple fix :onya:
Happened on my K7 about 3 weeks ago and one day before Red Biker's bike did the same.
Ya must of shed a few kilos off walking about with that big thing :lol:
Glad it was a simple enough fix :cheers:

Aye I do have multi vehicle breakdown cover - phone was at home charging though :facepalm:
Happened to my K5 a couple of weeks back, cost me £100 for the rescue van!
Worth doing the wire mod to anyone who hasn't done it yet :onya:
