Back fire? Fixed!

A weird one, bike was fine on the way to work this morning, and started out fine on the way home, but developed a back fire at about 4-5000rpm, tried to gingerly limp it home but it eventually give up altogether and now won't fire at all, after pushing back home 1.5 hours later I whipped the fairing and tank off and checked for anything obvious, and could only find one of the clamps on the carb rubbers wasn't in the correct position, corrected it hoping it was an air leak, but still no joy.

Also checked the earth points i know about, checked the fuses including the main one all appears fine.

Thanks again.

Matt

Just make sure your taps vaccuum hose hasn't split mate, could cause you a problem like this if it's only opening the tap diaphragm a little way

Okay so went around all the connecter blocks again and found a loose one at the back of the bikes, reconnected and hey presto. Job done!
