Has anyone had problems starting their bike after a wash.
I use CT18 Truck wash with a Karcher and after I've finished washing it, the big girl just doesn't want to start.
The only way it will start is with the choke on and once started, you have to let it idle for 10 minutes. If you give it ANY gas at all, it just stops.
After that I take it for a quick blat down the road and it's usually OK after that... never had a problem on the track, even when hot. Starts everytime off the button.
I have sealed the plug lead with silicon and electrical tape but no difference.
Sometimes after I've try starting it for a couple of minutes without success, it backfires (carbooom) and then starts, Scares the crap outta the neighbours (and me!) :twisted: .
I'm hoping it's something simply I can do to fix it.
You could drown my old 520 and hit the button and it would start staight away.
Any ideas?
