Gas Gas 280 2014 Electrical Fault?

Featured Replies

Yesterday while riding the bike suddenly died while on road between sections.Had plenty of fuel.I removed tank and looked for loose wire and pulled out spark plug.No spark, so i disconnected kill switch from,cdi and the bike fired up,plugged kill switch back in bike kept running but decided to leave disconnected anyway and taped up.Did one more section then after 5 mins roadwork it died again.Put it on the back of car and took it home where it fired up again.Idled in garage for 5 mins no problems.Where should i look first coil or stator?It seems to be when its getting hot?

Can you borrow a coil from another bike and see if it still does it?Is it new enough to still be under warranty?

check fuel tank breather, they have a ball valve in the line that sticks starving the fuel

When it stopped the second time it cut out instantly and completely so I pulled pipe off fuel tap and there was plenty of fuel flowing.i can try a new coil tomorrow from a friends bike and we can try his with mine.i was just wondering if it was a common fault?it was registered in May 13 so will be out of warranty?

Registered in may 2013 but 2014 model ? Had both years bikes and both came with hidra ignition system neither had this problem. Warranty is six months I think
