I got a funky zzr250 in March and it's been giving me tons of problems for quite some time, and with much help I've been able to keep her running on and off throughout the season. Many Carb pulls aand spark plug changes due to an ill-tuned setup from previous owner(s)
Yesterday tho I was on the 401 and it was running fine until I thought I hit a bump or something. And then I started losing power (similar to when you run out of gas, but I topped up before getting on the highway) and moved to the shoulder lane while hearing a funky sound as the RPMs went from 10k to 0, like something caught in a fan or clogged in a pipe... I tried starting it, gave some ttrouble, but turned over and heard that clicking/clogged noise still and it shut off. I kept trying to keep her alive, but she wouldn't stay idle without gas. The clicking noise is worrying. I'm now a CAA member tho, so there's that....
My good friend who usually helps me has got a new job recently and has little to no time to help me out with this for quite some time, and I'm wondering if someone could come by and give me a fair diagnosis and some help maybe? This bikes my only mode of transport outside of the TTC and would hate to stop having to ride by August.
