It was running fine the last time I had the tank on, but after removing it and refitting, the bike won't start.
I appear to have lost fuel flow to my injectors. I removed one and cranked the bike...it was very hard to see any fuel.
Fuel pump is ok and I have the metal quick connectors fitted.
I have been fitting and removing my fuel tank quite frequently over the last couple of months while I fix various problems,
and each time I find it quite difficult to connect and disconnect the fuel lines.There is not much room there for these.
I suspect I have pushed the fuel line too far back on itself and managed to kink the fuel line, thereby starving the injector of fuel.
Now I have to remove the battery and tray to inspect the lines and maybe fix. Not to mention I have disconnect the throttle cables AGAIN to move the tray! grrrrr
I know its a pain without the quick connectors, but its also a pain using them.
I am wondering if there is a better way? Maybe the fuel lines on the tank side can be made longer so there is less load on the metal fuel lines?...dunno
Not using quick connectors means I'll have to use clamps on the lines ( which I don't have ) and has proved messy in the past.
Anybody found a better way? Is there a softer, more flexible fuel line available?
Loop the fuel line?
