On the way back on RT 15 just south of Culpeper I had a sudden loss of power but the bike continued to run and the throttle was sluggish. Pulled off to the side and the bike would not idle and stopped running. Took a chance and called George and luckily he was in the shop in the midst of moving stuff.
I described the symptoms and determined it might be a blown valve. It would be OK to limp on over to the shop. Once there George did some preliminary checks. He couldn’t confirm it was a bad valve and would have a better look first thing Monday.
I’m hoping it’s not to serious. If it is, I’ll have to seriously consider upgrading.
