Title: is it normal? Post by kikuchiyo on 11/21/05 at 16:02:06 I run out of gas on the highway. After pulling over to the shoulder I switched to reserve,- but bike would not start... engine would turn and turn for nothing. After five minutes after pulling choke it started. Bike is new 05, 3500miles. Should I be concerned? |

Title: Re: is it normal? Post by SavageDude on 11/21/05 at 16:40:05 That's is normal if you let it run dried before swithching to Reserve. I have an 05 too and had the same problem. It won't start until I pulled the choke out all the way ??? |

Title: Re: is it normal? Post by Reelthing on 11/21/05 at 16:52:32 If you run it dry before you switch to res and the engine dies - it'll restart much better if you switch it to pri and let the carb bowl fill back up - otherwise it can take a lot of cranking to create enough vacuum to let enough gas into the bowl so the jet can pick any up |

Title: Re: is it normal? Post by Reelthing on 11/21/05 at 18:01:51 Same here - the '95 will start right back up but the '02 is a bit harded to restart. |
