man its driving me crazy. you can ride the bike but i want to get it figured out before i get stranded on a trip this summer miles or states away from home.

 

What about the crank position sensor?

Did you check your battery connections?

 

yes on the battery as i took it out when working on the gas tank and secured both bolts very good before the test ride.

As for teh crank position sensor no haven't thought of that one. Figured it would just shut the bike down if it went bad.

 

Even putting in Shell V-power 93 does not guarantee good fuel. If the price of the fuel is higher then the off brand name down the street the Shell can sit in the underground tank and collect moisture and separate from the ethanol. Modern fuel is garbage. And if the station is not selling it in enough volume to the European car drivers it will go bad.

Drain out a quart mason jar of it and stir it look for some small bubbles of water or debris at the tornado of the spinning fuel. If you don't see it right off. Cover it and let it set for 24 hours go back check again. See what you find.

Not that I don't believe you, I don't trust the gas were expected to run in our engines.

Did you figure it out?

 

Nope not yet. Dropped it back off today and they are now thinking pin hole in the line that goes from the fuel pump to the quick disconnect or an issue with the disconnect and are finally going to do some fuel psi checks but this is all just talk today and said it may be thur before they even get to look at it.

 

That was what I was thinking, never had that problem on a bike, but had a small pinhole in the gas line to the boat and it did the same thing. Was sucking air in, but if it went dead it would fire right back up. Was a B***** to find, but replaced the fuel line and didn't have anymore trouble.

 

My guess is that it is something in the tank lift mod. Most likely fuel line aeration. I had the 8 degree fuel injector issue and the bike would surge like that. Have you tried cleaning the injectors?

I would also check the crank sensor, engine temp sensor and bank angle sensor. During the tank lift did you move any wiring under the tank?

 

Don't get all freaked out as this is most likely a really simple issue. Definitley an "Oh S**t" issue.
