Hi Everybody,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with this problem which has plagued me for almost as long as i have owned the bike and that no mechanic so far has been able to solve...
I have a CBR250R (1988) which i have owned for about 2 years. One day i was out riding and it started missing here and there but would quickly recover and deliver power again but then maybe 1 km further down the road the exhaust started sounding really weird (like a dying Giraffe), and gradually the bike lost power (the throttle was fully open but the revs steadily dropped). So on the side of the F3 i was stuck. when i tried to turn the bike over the battery was nearly flat despite having been riding for 40 mins. On that day i got Jimmy from SOS motorcycle recovery to pick it up and take it to the workshop for me (sorry had to plug jimmy, he's a top bloke). The mechanic said that the stator had gone in it and he replaced it with reconditioned one.
So i was able to ride it to and from Sydney from the central coast for a few weeks and it was running fine. but then one day on the way to work a car clipped me. I managed to keep the bike upright and it only caused cosmetic damage but rattled me a bit. so i started driving the car to work. a few weeks later i went to take the bike for a ride and it started with the same problem again. except when i managed to limp home the battery wasn't fully dead.
I left it for a while as i didn't have the money to fix it. when i got around to getting some cash it wouldn't start at all. so again Jimmy picked it up and took it to the workshop. Mechanic this time said it was a crimp in the fuel line.
So on Sunday i decided to take it for a ride and it crapped out on me again on the F3. same issue. engine wont start now...
Any ideas of what this could be?
