Went for a ride Easter Sunday. Checked the weather and no clouds in the area. Took off for a short cruise of about 20 miles one way. Had a great ride, get there and the wife text's that there are black clouds building and thunder is cracking. She is wanting to make sure that I am on my way home before $hit hits the fan.
Ok no stop better head home. Take off and again great ride no troubles at all running great pulling hard through the rpm range.
Get about 2 miles from home and it starts to sprinkle, drops the size of quarters. About another 1/4 mile and she let loose. Buckets of water and pea size hail. Get stuck at only one stop light and kind of chuckle to my buddy about the hail.
Get going to make it home and the bike starts coughing and sputtering, give it gas with a couple of twist of the throttle and it takes off then again coughing and sputtering.
Well we get to my garage. Get the bikes cleaned up and then supper time.
A couple days later go out and the bike starts and runs fine. Hum seems to have dried out and running. All is well. Nope on Thursday take the bike out to go for a ride and she dies 3 blocks from home. Yeap push the sweet girl home.
This time pull the seat, tank, and side covers. Pull a plug wire and no spark. Well I thought no spark. Pull connectors check the LEDs on the ECH yeap all working. Check the LEDs on the ignition module yeap they are working. Check spark again and yeap there is good spark.
Hum?? The wife is sitting there watching me do all this and asks "Is there gas?" Well of course there is gas, right? I turn on the petcock, Nope no gas.
Long story short. Check you fuel level.
