well wen i was on it the other day i was on the last fuel bar with it flashing. it then came up with the display of F-0.1/then 0.2 so on so on. i filled the bike back up and it went back to normal fuel gauge and mileage etc the bike at the moment is st 11,000 miles and it runs really well with no problems.

wen starting the bike it sounds like its ticking over with out any go

danlee, im somewhat confused...you say both spark plugs were ok, is it not single spark plug? maybe i am wrong!!!

Does the bike have a fuel tap? If you ever run out of fuel you will need to set the tap to PRI (stands for Prime) position for a minute or two before setting it back to ON or RUN or RES

its probably self-priming as it is EFI.

Without trying to sound like a total idiot here, you did check the engine kill switch is off, just incase you have caught it without knowing? Sometimes its the most simplest things that we miss that saves alot of money, and embarassment.
