well where do i start?
I started the bike this morning and it started fine and ran fine for about 1km. THEN it sounded like it was running on 3cyl, then shortly after that it sounded like it was running on 2cyl......Then it died on its feet.
There is still power to the instrument cluster and the starter has plenty of kick in it but the bike wont start. there is fuel in it before any one asks.
Just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction or what to start looking for?

Thanks
