Hey everyone, it seems my motorbike is out to prove Murphy's law to me. I was riding my bike to a couple job interviews around town and it was fine, but then when I started to head home I got on huge road and realized I had near zero power.
the power is enough to propel the bike, but not at any real speed and the throttle has little response. There isn't much of a difference in engine sound between putting the throttle on a bit and full throttle. Then, when I pull in the clutch and stop the engine cuts out as if I pushed the kill switch. I've checked my fuel line and it's flowing, I've checked my wiring and it's all attached. I can't see anything wrong on the outside of the bike at all in fact.
could the spark plug be gummed up? I haven't checked that yet, I just pedaled home and figured I'd ask you lot before I start tearing my motor apart.
id really appreciate any help, this bike is how I get around!
