    Went to go for rideout today but bike died on us, it was fuel starvation[:(!] Even though we have a full tank of fuel the pump wouldnt kick in until Dave put it on reserve, then it went ok, but only discovered that after we’d taken fuel tank off…..Yup I got oily hands again![:D]

    That’s odd, any idea what caused it?
    is there a shut off valve that may have gotten stuck Carmy?[?]

    I watched a video of a bloke changing and cleaning his engine and he had to take the tank off. (gs500e)

    Anyway there’s a little tap on the insude that the fule hose goes into, and it looked looked like if the bike took a knock this could get jammed shut.
    Could have been that maybe? and taking the tank off sorted it out again?
