Dear all,
I have a 99' st11 with ~50k miles. I bought it maybe 6 months ago.
I was riding at a steady speed of ~70mph (engine was warmed up) and I started to notice a loss of power. It would stutter and all of a sudden gain power again and judder forward. I have had this with a previous bike and it turned out to just be a fuel pipe. However, I tried to nurse it home as best I could but a couple of miles down the road I heard a couple of REALLY LOUD bangs that sounded like they were coming from the engine. At this point I pulled over, the engine died and I had to get recovered. The bike will start now, but obviously I am not sure what's wrong with it. It felt like it wasnt running on all four cylinders.
I am pretty new to Pans but the engine also sounds more noisy to me now, but I am not an expert on how it should sound. I just know it sounds different to me now. I am hoping it is something simple!
