Bike not too well AGAIN !!

K4 new last Oct. Parked in my Garage.

Jan 2005:
bike taken to the garage to have new locks fitted, locks got jammed and I couldn't undue the steering lock.

March 2005:
bike taken away by AA, I lost power yesterday. max was 50mph down the M1.
Not too sure what the problem is, AA thinks might be exhaust or engine only firing on one pot.. Don't ask me I'm not a machanic....

Back to the car again and sitting in traffic.
Great Fun..

second problem sounds like the classic water round the front plug.

It was very wet yesterday, you may have the one cylinder in the wet problem if you rode in the rain. So do, some dont. A fender extender seems to overcome that, although putting the plug cap on properly with some grease may also do the trick. And some WD40 down the little drain hole where rusty water comes out on the cylinder too. If it was dry, I reckon its possible water goes down that drain hole into the plug when it was wet or you washed it. Same for plug cap if your a vigarous washer
