907IE Won't Start... HELP...

Here we go! I just bought this bike a month ago it was running fine until last thursday night. :rant: It started like hesitating while at cruising speed but it was very, very lightly and it went away for the rest of the trip. I got to the destination fine with no major issues. When on my way back the bike started fine but all of the sudden started like missing and hesitating harder and becoming worse if I tried to give more gas it would bog! If I let go the throtle it would run and idle fine! The problem was that I was on the I-95 Interstate at midnight and I needed to keep a minimum speed of 40mph. I managed to bring the bike to the closest exit ramp holding the throtle all the way open and bike doing no more than 25 to 30 mph. When stopped at the traffic light it died! :mad:

Then it would start immediately but the second I tried to give it gas it would die!!!! I thought I had run out of gas but that was not the case. I changed both plugs with new ones and the bike still won't start now!!!! As always, I will appreciate any advise and help you can supply :sad:

**By the way the bike has a new BOSCH fuel pump that was installed not long ago! maybe a couple of months.

Regards,

Jose

I am far from any expert but did you try the fuel filter?

Hi Dino, I believe I found the problem!

I just found a big fuel leak inside the tank! :eek:

Apparently the fuel line from the fuel pump had become loose and finally gave and as soon as you turn the switch on and the fuel pump starts, it sprays a big amount of fuel inside! Now, the question is how do I get to work inside the fuel tank? :confused:

C-ya! Will keep you posted! :thumbup:

Jose :cool:

Hi Dino, just to let you know that bike has been fixed!

Found that the hose coming from the fuel pump to the gas filter was broken and leaking bigtime! Replaced 2" with new hose, cranked and bike is running excellent! Will test drive it tomorrow

Regards,

Jose

Just to support Dino's reply, my clutch has the sound of a bag of metal twirling aound when engaged. Always has and it's been rebuilt. I'd worry if it didn't make any noise.
