And now it happened again. I received good advises but was unable to locate
the fault since at the time bike was running OK.
Question: should the fuel pump operate with the ignition switch ON even if
the engine is NOT running. Or is the pump controlled by the ignition unit
CDI. Any experiences how difficult it is to start the engine after running
out of fuel. In my case there was enough fuel. Any other new ideas where to
start or what to on the road when this happenes ?
Thanks again for any ideas.
