Subject: every years problem during holiday


Hi all!!
Yesterday we started our trip to Scandinavia. It ended near the denmark
border in Neumünster. The @ lost the power in 5 gear and only were able
to get 5 - 5500 rpm. Speed was max 120km/h. We went to an Honda dealer
in Neumünster, but he was not very much interested in us. A very
friendly Suzuki-biker brought us to some other very friendy mechanics.
(it was 18:00, normaly the shops close than), and they looked for 1 1/2
hour, but couldn't find the mistake. (They were realy good and nice
ones). So we went back to Osnabrück and today we visit our dealer in Bad
Iburg. He found the fault inbetween 5 min. The membran in the carburator
was broken. It had an ca. 1 cm long cut, so what's why we lost the
power. It is fixed tomorow, cost round 200,-DM for the part, and we will
start our trip tomorow or the next day.
