This is hard to admit but might save someone from a long walk
I know you should not ride along but I do sometimes
Today I had a 12 mile walk out of the desert to my truck. I could drive to within 2 miles of the bike . It took as long to 4 wheel to the bike as it did to walk out, rough terrain but the weather was great :cheers:
2010 FE 570 just installed Akrapovic slip on muffler so I though I should go for a ride
Bike stopped, 12 miles from truck, would not start
Had spark, fuel pump would run for its computer controlled two seconds with no run/start but I could tell from the sound it was not building pressure
Removed air cleaner opened throttle cranked engine NO fuel spray from injector. I knew injector was electrically working I could feel it clicking when cranking
quick tip/ easy way to remove spark plug/ loosen plug push about a foot of 8mm or 5/16 fuel hose on to plug, hose will run between radiator and frame and screw plug out works great
Got the bike home pulled the tank off check fuel lines in tank, not connected
Had my fuel pump out a few weeks ago to install sock filter and a 2010 FX tank (I can see the fuel just one of the reasons I wanted the FX tank)
When connecting the In tank fuel lines together I did not get the lines locked together you have to make sure the four locks are clipped over the line flange I might of had one of the four locks clipped on, not sure.
The bike has gone over three hundred miles since I had the pump out but finally fuel pressure pushed the fuel feed lines apart, and the bike quit (imagine that, guess it needs fuel pressure to run !!)
totally my fault not the bike. The bike has been great
Hope this helps
have a great ride
