Have a friend who bought a CX650 last year, put 2500 miles on it before the end of the season, and on his last ride...well he explained it like this:
"I heard a loud 'BANG' and then it sounded like a car without a muffler on it. After that I steadily lost power. When I managed to get it home, I tried turning it over and it would start but wouldn't idle more than a second or two. When I tried to start it up this spring, it would turn, but nothing." I've had him check for spark, vacuum and compression. He says no spark, but vacuum and compression are good. He's also said that the wiring harness on it is a complete mess. I have not seen the bike and have been trying to help him over the phone, so any input would be greatly appreciated.
And yes, I did say something to him about leaving old gas in there and trying to run with old gas in it. At the moment, he's draining the tank, changing the filter and I have him rinsing the tank out with high octane fuel.
Thanks in advance for all responses!
