Vstrom 500

SO...... Halfway home engine back fires big style as I approach some lights and stalls.

Starts but runs on one cylinder at low revs,seems better but not perfect above 5k rpm.

Limp home take a look and the backfire had pushed the injection bodies up out the intake rubbers hence rough running.

Pushed them back and tightened the clamps and seems OK - anyone else had this fun ?

yep. But on my SV1000. Rear TB blew out.

I'm fairly certain this was a known issue on the 1000s on VSRI or somewhere, and people were wire tying them on to stop them popping off again.

I never thought about that - ill have a look if it happens again or I fetch the tank off - thanks !

Its now running better than it has in ages so may have been leaking a bit for a while.

there's even some handy lugs to help the lockwiring...!  https://www.v-strom.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=13559.msg117518#msg117518
