.020 Over
Not sure if anyone has heard of this problem based on these "hints" (I'm not mechanically inclined):
2012 Rocket Roaster with Carpenter Brute exhaust, Power Commander, air box delete, triple K&N filters, 37,000km
I put in about 600km since I got her this winter. Has been running like a charm so far. Took her out for a short ride (about 50km) and after about 20 min stop she won't start. Had her in neutral all normal lights on, pressed ignition - nothing. Turned her back off and back on. Now check engine light is on and the fuel indicator reset to "0" and range is "0". Tried ignition again and she turns over but doesn't start. At this point my buddy suggested to "pump" the throttle twice before trying to start. Off,On,neutral, pump throttle twice, start - and she starts up like normal! Check engine light is still on on the ride home but fuel gauge and range climbed slowly back up to regular level. Tried starting her again in the garage at home and she's starting up no problem (but the check engine light is still on).
I'll have my local bike shop have a look at the bike hopefully next week to figure out what the check engine light is trying to indicate...hopefully nothing major?
Side note: She is leaking some oil around the cam cover gasket but I've read on here that this seems to be a common issue. I'm getting my shop to fix that for me soon.
