Had my first break down at side of road today with this bike.
With 95 miles of range remaining (fuel strip still works) and fuel sloshing in the tank, the bike stuttered and died and would not restart, firing a couple of times then dying on each try.
I immediately thought of a fuel problem as its the only thing I havent changed.
On a hunch it might not be getting the fuel over from the other side, I pushed it to a nearby petrol station and put another 10 litres in and she fired up straight away and got me home.
So I have been reading about the fuel pump controller packing up but those failures seem terminal - or do they occur intermittently?
Or is this the issue where the reserve side of the GSA tank is not being pumped over, due to a pump failure, causing fuel starvation?
Or are they both related?
The fuel pump controller was very corroded when I first got the bike, so I cleaned it up best I could and coated with ACF50 and left alone.
08 GSA with 42K miles.
Cheers, Andy
