Danger:

Fire

The leak protection between the flexible rubber tubes and the metal pipes of the fuel injection system is not adequate as a result of the material used and due to excessively large tolerance limits for the diameter of the rubber tubes. This can result in a gradual loss of fuel. If fuel escapes on a large scale there is a risk of fire

Hope this helps

Hi, my alter ego rides a speced CBR1100 blackbird!!!!!!!!!!!

[650 Dragstar........... girls' bike??]

Hi,

1. Female friend - rides a Gixer 750 - only times she' stops is for petrol- newbies in the club try to run but give up - her other half rides to see her at home!

2. Female - used to ride a Z1000 and a Z1300 6 pot like she stole it !!!! looks a little like a barbie doll.

3. Female rides a Suzauki 1400 & drives a HGV.

Common thing they are STILL BIKERS and never under estimate them, any bike can be a'girly bike' even with a male riding and vice-versa.

[XVS 1300 -2007 - cutting out!!]

Hi, newbie on site (very good)- have a serious issue with my XVS 1300:(7,000 miles)

Bike runs fine when standing - upto 1 hour - no issues - but when taken out for a run at 23 miles starts to degrade in running then at 30 miles cuts out and then will not run but will turn over and start running for a few seconds then cuts out (recommend do not try to push bike for 1.5 miles - very tiring!!).

Solution so far - has been on a Dyno road - runs perfect - new plugs, air filter all checks out.

NO lights on the speedo re the ECU no fault codes.

The bike is an import from the states - hence if any parts needed you have to order them from the states.

The mechanic thinks it might be the ECU !!!

Any advice thoughts would be much appreciated..
