A buddy who owns a DL1K-K5 with about miles has suffered a breakdown.
For several months he's complained that the bike will have occational minor backfires particularly in second gear when easing along at partial throttle openings.
He rode about 350 interstate miles. The next morning the bike started but after pulling out onto a road there was a very loud BANG and it quit. It restarted and would idle but any application of throttle resulted in coughing and sputtering. Engaging the clutch resulted in the engine dying. He's taken it to a local, highly reputable shop but they won't really get into it until Monday.
SO???? Is this timing? Fuel injectors? Gremlins?
A google thanks
