| Suppose it had to break ..2nd update....
Ah well,
as the titles suggests the dark one broke down today.
Bike had just been for service and not ridden since.
So basically had ridden about 100 miles, bike suddenly locked the back wheel up on the brakes, and felt like it locked under engine braking. Any pulled over to the side of the road. Bike had stalled, fired her back up and it stalled again. Tried again and a huuuuuuge cloud of smoke from the exhaust and then from the left hand side of the engine.
I limped over to a nearby macdonalds car park and left it for a bit hoping it was like a spontaneous mis fire of the like, but the clouds of smoke kept coming so mr aa man had to come get me.
As i say the bike had just been serviced and i'd not done any miles on it till now since, does any body have nay idea what i could have been? Gasket? Valve?
It was a 1 yr service at 5k miles with valves done.
There does appear to be some oil sprayed toward the back but not excessively and no leaks from the bike overall it seems.
Thanks ppl
