 |
|
Hey guys,
I have a 1996 K1100 RS that will start right up and run great for 4-5 miles, then the engine will dog down and lose power like its starved of fuel. The bike can be started immediately after it loses power and is turned off (doesn't stall) and will run great for another 2 miles or so before the same thing happens.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
-JMJ |

Hi JMJ - we can usually give you a better virtual diagnosis if you add the year, model and mileage of your bike to your signature. In this case, it probably won't make much difference.
+ on the fuel filter.
