picked up a lightly used 12 280i. first ride 15 minutes in bike dies like i hit the kill button.
now shows no sign of wanting to run. even 5th gear bump starts on a big hill.
bikes seems to have spark but maybe intermittent? pull fuel line of injector and fuel pumping is pumping.
very quickly regretting this purchase. anyone got any ideas on where to start looking?
My 280 was dead a couple yrs.The problem was a bit intermittent.Turned out that one of the crankcase cover screws (behind the flywheel and stator had come loose and backed out far enough to get the head clipped off by the flywheel.The chunk of metal would get stuck on the ignition pickup and kill the ignition.Probably not your problem,but it could happen and it was really tough to find.
