Backfire, stutter then died?
06/08/13 at 14:01:44

Hi I was riding home lastnight and slowed down as i was coming into a township and as i was slowing down my bike started backfiring constantly about 5 to 6 times in a row, i then started losing acceleration and it felt like i ran out of petrol so i quickly switched to reserve and my bike completely died. I parked up for 2mins to check my bike over and the first thing i noticed was my ignition port where i put the key in was hanging loose, i double checked it was in reserve, fired it up and rode it home which was just around the corner, rode into a police stop, which was a drama, and during this drama i mustve switched back to on instead of reserve because when i got home it was switched to the on position. Any ideas? Sorry for the novel just trying to give you a better insight. Cheers

I agree. When we were kids way back in the last century we used to make our cars backfire by switching the key off for a second then turning it back on. KAPOW! Of course that was when you could still do that kind of stuff without locking the steering wheel and runnin'off the road.
