Hello all, riding back yesterday an all was usual until it cut out at 70mph bit of a splutter an it died all together pulled over to hard shoulder an tried to restart it but it was just turning over, turned the fuel tap to reserve an still wouldn't fire up so turned tap back to ON just kept turning over an hoping it would fired up and it did so carried on with my journey an it was fine, this has happened to me once before but just put it down to fuel being low, thinking back now I think it did the same thing as took a some time to start back up, but the fuel was low?

If anyone has any idea what it could be or what to check, I would be very grateful for any help.

Kind regards oristt

Check the filler cap vent, out blocked? sounds a bit like fuel starvation. If it happens again open the filler and listen for a hiss.
