Today at High River Alberta I fueled my 1991 K75 RT up with premium gas ,and about a mile down the road , the bike sputtered once and quit .
It wouldn’t start ,even with the choke on full . About 15 minutes later l tried again ,and it started . I held it at about 23000 RPM’s for half a minute ,and idled it back down, and moved the choke to the warm run position. .
Then I header back to Calgary ,with high hopes . I got about 3 miles ,heading for Calgary when it started dying again. I choked it ,but it didn’t mater. I had already called my daughter who was on her way to get me ..
My only clue is that it sounds like fuel. I changed the fuel filter with the BMW prescribed filter last fall, and rode 500 km’s after that
, plus another 200 earlier this spring.. I noticed the fuel was coming out of the gas pump into the tank quite forceful, and wondered if it could have had anything to do with it . I opened the gas cap incase it was a vacuum thing preventing the flow of fuel, but that didn’t help ..
Any ideas will be appereciated !
