My turn to stall

My Burger stalled today pulling uphill into a junction, first time it has even hiccuped.
It started straight back up again but obviously that means stopping and engaging the brake first IF you can get yourself out of the flow of traffic in one piece.

There seems to be a lot of this low rpm stalling with various newish bikes these days. Burgmanusa, BMWs, Sh ......
I think things have got too complicated for their own good with all these interlocks and management systems - beefing up the wiring and connectors might be a better idea.

Interestingly I hadn't followed my own advice and allowed the electronics to boot up fully as I normally would but maybe that is just coincidence.

Oh we'll, start with the obvious this afternoon and check the plugs and wiring.
It just seems so common at the moment that it is case of it being my turn. So much for modern "improvements".

plug is your best bet, as if the tappets have never been set, the valve opening and closing could have just missed, a clean of the plug is usually all it takes, make a note of the plug you pull out, make model number and post

a guide for the plugs you took out is here so you can try tell there colour etc http://www.knmgarage.com/uploads/Reading_your_Plug.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hi Bluebottle, almost certainly its the boot up issue. You would be running on a default set of ignition and fuel injection values, not necessarily what the bike would be wanting. It defo makes it more prone to stalling. I too had my 400 stall on the occassion I didn't allow it to boot up fully before pushing the starter button. So relax, it's fine! ;) Incidentally, many newer cars too are affected by this issue.

Not anything to do with the ethylene addition increase this year is it?
