K6 a bit ill
 
Just got home from work, 50 mile blast. Got off the motorway into a 30, bike a bit twitchy on throttle, almost like it was surging. Turned the corner into my road, Oil light came on bike died. Pushed to house, gave it 10 mins, checked oil level, spot on. Started, would not turn over without my holding the revs at about 3000, stinks of petrol, exhaust proper banging away. Any thoughts? Cheers.

Wet front plug perhaps.

Na YC, it's been dry as a bone all day.

Coil, HT lead or plug breaking down. Something loose on the intake side.

Cheers fella. I'll get on it. Could bad fuel do this? Also not sure if this could make a difference, but tried starting after it had cooled down for a bit and it was fine, for about 5 seconds.

Sounding more like a big air leak, the FI bikes have auto-enrichment at first.

Check nothing around the airbox is loose.

Bad fuel could do it yes, but I think that would have shown itself far sooner.

Just tried again, engine cooler about 38oC. Started perfect first time, no problems, didn't need additional throttle, engine sounded fine, no banging from exhaust, oil pressure light went off as it should. Idled fine at around 13-1400 for about 15 seconds then slowly died off til stall.

Gonna check the airbox now.

I had similar issues with my K6 refusing to idle over the very cold spell. In my case, water had got into the front plug & then froze. Great!

Yours does sound like too much air on intake (as YC said). Airbox/filter being the prime suspect.

It seems to be time for the K6's to start developing faults at the moment.

Cheers Baph, what would I be looking out for when inspecting the airbox/filter?

Just took it out for a quick blast, put some more fuel in. Rides perfect over 5000rpm, below that and it's like riding a kangaroo.

Is it safe to ride like this or could I be causing damage?
