The fuel pumps are know to go bad on those bikes. Buy a new one and all will be good.


But on a side note, it could be your bank angle sensor.

By connecting the 2 outside wires running into the bank angle sensor you can bypass it, still nothing. As far as the fuel pump goes.. it primes if given direct power.

just that this one is way easier to die on than a older 954.

and just make sure.. i like 954's
Honestly, the 954 definately ain't no slouch compared to this thing, especially around town, the 10r is a pig down low where the 954 would stand straight up. As far as turning, I'd rather not push anything till I have a set of qualifiers on it... and even then, I'll keep my chicken strips, as long as I can keep the rubber side down. Is this suspension supposed to be so soft? Feels real sloppy, but comfortable going straight.

nope.. should be hard as a rock... find the factory setting and start from there. go have the sag set up for you.


well yours was geared so I'm sure it felt good but once you start riding it harder and start coming off corners in the power band. it will spin up the rear tire or stand up on you really quick.

its just the shitty first gear that makes them feel slow. trust me they arn't.

Listen, I appreciate your help.

I entered the turn too fast just as I have before and managed to save it the last time i did, but this time being on the brake and leaning as it happened caused the tire to lock up, that's why I low sided.
