After WeSToc in Fortuna Ca the bike started acting up in hot weather < 95'F . It was either no go or full throttle. The consensus of the forum was the fuel pump. I replaced the pump and all was good.
Yesterday, for the first time since replacing the pump, the temp hit 98'F. The bike rode fine, no hickups, until I shut it off to talk to a fellow rider. It would not start. It didn't attempt to start.
We pushed the bike into a shady area. I opened the gas cap and there was no pressure buildup. I still had 3 bars left on the gauge.
I removed the spark plugs and they were dry. Looking good.
I turned the key on and listened for the fuel pump to wind up. All I heard was the click of a relay and a few seconds later another click. The bike would not start.
We left it sit for 10 min and tried it again. the fuel pump pressured up and the bike started.
We were only 1 mile from home. Once there I shut off the engine and then tried to start it. Click, click. No pressuring up.
This morning tried it and it pressures up fine.
I don't want to be worried about riding in areas where it might get over 90'F.
I did replace the filter with the pump.
Any suggestions.
