Theres absolutely no way im accepting any liability over this, as you say scotty, allegedly the garage have said they have sent the fuel for analysis and that they cleared it all out and put new fuel in to see if it was ok, the concern is that my friend has used the same fuel and hasnt broken down.

I have to say i agree with you guys that the bike coule not have run with the diesel fuel and performed as it was doing up until the point where it broke down.

I must advise that after it did break down it continued to run, its just that it was smoking like as bar stuard and i didnt want to risk any catastrophic failure by riding it.

Can any one categorically state this the engine would not run? if this is the case i can simply say that its knack*rs. convinced it must be dodgy petrol and not diesel.

Again just to reiterate - it would run and tick over, rev up and down the rev range ok, just didnt feel quite right and smoked llike no ones business.
