Good morning, all! Thought I'd post an issue here and see if I'm on the right track to working through it.
I appear to have a fuel starvation issue on my '01, and from all the reading I've been doing, I have several things to check. First, fuel filter...then gas cap. I've already removed the safety fuel shutoff. I'm thinking my fuel pump is on the fritz, though, based on posts here. The bike runs perfectly the first few trips of the day. Seems to be, though, that once it heats up, the bike doesn't have nearly as much power...it actually runs pretty bad after awhile. Then, I let it sit overnight and it's fine the next day. Very frustrating. Also, it seems that my fuel economy is suffering. I'm getting about 240 miles to the tank. Sound like a fuel pump to you guys? I thought fuel filter for awhile, but it doesn't make sense that it would run perfectly at first I don't think.
I'm still riding the bike, I just can't ride it much. Basically, I ride it to work and back home. Hopefully I'll get it figured out pretty quick.
Thanks for any thought you have, or mentioning something I missed!
