On another forum I'm on---triumph675.net---, one of our two-wheeled brethren had an absolutely terrible thing happen to his Daytona 675: it shut off, he pulled over and it burst into flames. Check out the pics:

Gut wrenching...

I saw this on 675.net.

I said it there and I'll say it here:

That's horrible.

Pulled over, not hurt, how lucky/convenient!?

Can't afford the payments, paid more than it's worth? :chin:

Is there no fuel petcock to shut the fuel off?

No, Fuel injected bikes have a pressurized plastic tube inbetween the Fuel Tank and the injector rail.

0UCH! mighty good thing it didn't flame up while you were riding on the bike and burn your legs n such.....feel bad for ya man....not a lot of fun.

Ah, that will buff right out.
Funny thing is, the radio still works,
clear as a bell, don't ask me why.

"Sir, do you believe this vehicle is safe to operate?"

Ive ridden with him on the track before (one of my track videos features his bike). His is a 2006 so if he's financing hopefully its close if not paid off. He said he will claim insurance on it.

That must have come as one hell of a nasty shock. Can't imagine what it must be like to watch your ride go up in flames. Major bummer.

 

[strokerlmt]

that is horrible.....hope he has insurance......plastic likes to burn....

[drlapo]
