Yeah I agree Perkles it does look pretty hot in wd40 colours

clearly didn't read the caution section of the instructions...

Its his come uppance for making me crash at Mallory.

That's a full on fire. I'm guess there was a fuel leak from the tank seeing as the fire is all over the place.

That's what whitham said. He reckons a high pressure fuel hose had split. Had to be fuel as if oil the bike wouldn't be running and would seize was his comment.

Perhaps Kawasaki are trialing heated seats to keep up with BMW accessory range

it was a fire in the airbox

Yeah but airboxes don't burn like that. The amount of flames suggests fuel was present and there was a decent amount of it.

Some of the high pressure fuel rail, throttle body's , fuel injectors and associated hoses are located in the airbox so any fuel leakage here will allow a fire in the airbox which once the leaking fuel is ignited will spread very quickly.

Not being funny but what the hell would you do if this happened to one of us. I mean seriously I think I would piss and $hit myself if I realised I was literally sitting on fire. Screw that

jump off it and hope for the best

^ very much this, but also while screaming like a girl.


Top racers are something else though. He was probably thinking about the quickest way to get off the racing line and track in case he was doing oil..
