Hello,

Have a K5 that is stalling/enging cutting out, after revving.

At idle, it seems to be ok, sitting at around 1500, but after revving it, it drops below that, sits at 1000-1300, sputters and cuts out (while in neutral, 1st with clutch in etc).

Happened first time about a couple weeks ago, after fueling at a Sainsbury's. Thought it might be bad fuel, but the station claimed they didnt have any other such complaints that day.

Removed the fuel, added new fuel with some Seafoam, and bike ran like new.

A couple weeks later, and the same problem is back now, and got stuck far from home so called RAC. They did a hard reset, but no joy and "suspect fuel issue".

Any thoughts?

And while I appreciate its hard to diagnose something remotely like this, would anyone have any recommened mechanics in the south west london area?

Many thanks in advance.
