Ok so not mine. But two mates having bike trouble, thought Id see if you guys have any suggestions.
So problem 1)
Mate taking a (heavy)pillion hit a speed hump on his nc30.
The impact disconnected his exhaust from the downpipes, after it he stopped there was no neutral light and it wouldnt turn over.
When we took off all the fairings we eventually noticed there was a block connector disconnected (think it was maybe 3/4 pin brown one? On the left hand side of the engine near the front)
After we reconnected this the bike would crank over but only with the clutch in, but would not fire.....
We`v been looking for the neutral switch as the neutral light stopped working, and it will only turn over with the clutch pulled in. Thing is does that explain why it doesnt actually fire up once its turning over?? (with clutch pulled in)
Ok problem 2)
My mate got caught in heavy rain on his 749s today head for the bsb brands round.
Caught got in a heavy shower, and its started cutting out, got him abit further then eventually had to push it down the exit. Called RAC who tried to start it but the exhaust was actually filling up with fuel, apparently dripping out the joints! :dowhat
So obviously they gave up on trying to start it again when they couldnt drain all the fuel from the exhaust. I havent looked at it yet. Any ideas what to look for or check??
