Psychlist is a plonker

Had an excellent day today, nice run across country to Popham for the Hants meet (hope you're feeling better soon Pete) then a quick blat up the M3/25 to Red Leaders for coffee and doughnuts with CK and DRIBBLE, the boy wonder, and a short hop across the Thames (we did use a bridge though) with AK to say Hi to Rally (I'm sure you'll be able to put your prang behind you when you get your DD racer on track mate ) and a lovely ride across country to get home. Fuel light came on about 10 miles from home so, with about 3 miles to go, I pulled into my local Shell garage and topped up whilst chatting to a guy on a K1200RS who had pulled up at the pump next to me, nice guy and a smart looking bike, if you like that kind of thing :P and got a mile and a half up the road when cough, cough, splutter, bang the engine cuts out restarts immediately before stopping ina cloud of smoke. The dreadful sinking feeling I had told me that I knew what i'd done immediately, but checking my receipt confirmed what a plonker I was for filling my bike up with DIESEL

PS. Sorry PayneP and NBs996, I've got Rally's Rivnut tool at home with me now, didn't quite make it under my own steam tho

Drain it out mate, flush the tank out and refill-should be ok-diesel is just heavier fuel, lot more oily so should just act like upper cylinder lube.
