Engine Died During Fast Riding

I was late to the office this morning. So, I push the GTR to the limit.

It was fine for the first 30 minutes but suddently.... brrrrrrrrrrrr....... lost power. I was travelling at about 110km/h when it happened. I released the throttle fully and pull it again. Just a little bit. Engine regain power but pooommmm.......... an explosion like and the exhaust. I continue cruising at lower speed. Luckily I reached my office.

I check out with a few friends, some says that may be due to insufficient petrol being fed to the carburator. And the 'boom' sound may be due to miss firing by the spark plug.

I lost my confident on this bike again. May be no more full throttle and surely no long distance riding.

GTR On The Road Again

I get back the GTR on Friday. Feel good with proper auto clutch again.

Today I was back on the highway with the GTR. It was okey but some how I feel that the RPM was a bit higher at a speed of 100km/h.

Starting was good. I get the acceleration like it used to. But the front wheel feel like vibrating a lot.

I pushed it until 115km/h. The vibration is killing my enjoyment on the scooter. May be I will need to go for a wheel balancing.
