Thanks Marc. Unfortunately I don't know anyone with a GS-911. I'll check the air cleaner - but I doubt it would be a mouse; we have a cat that cleared the whole area of all mice ;-).
I must dig out the manual - I've not been near the injectors before, is it easy to remove? I will check the coils and plugs, although they were done about 6k miles ago by BMW.

Cheers
V.

You can pull the air cleaner and make sure a mouse didn't decide to build a nest in the snorkel or air box. You can pull the injectors one at a time and aim them toward a bucket when trying to start the engine. That will tell you if you are getting fuel. If the air intake is OK and the injectors are doing their job you can pull the plugs and check for cracks. Also give the stick coils a good looking over.
