New to EFI..here's the short version. Curious what "might" have happened:
75 degrees, sunny
Stuck in traffic (15 mins), knew I was low on fuel (low fuel light NOT on).
Bike started stuttering (like it was running out of fuel) pretty bad.
Only way around the above situation was to keep revs high (2000ish).
Decided to turn around, rode 5 mins back to gas station, filled with 4.1 gallons of fuel (Wolf).
Got back in traffic for 5 mins to my destination, stuttering the whole way. Felt like my old moped. High revs seemed to help.
Let bike sit for 4 hours. Upon start, wouldn't hold an idle and still stuttering. Started with increased gas/rev. Rode 5 mins back down road...stopped at same gas station as the EFI warning light came on a few mins into ride.
Turned bike off. Restarted twice. Second time, it idled/rode like a charm ever since.
Was this an overheat protection situation or do I have a bum low fuel light and the EFI was getting thirsty?
Thanks.
