Hey everyone! Firstly I´m new here and also new with K-bikes. I tried to find an answer from google and from this forum but couldn´t find so this is it. I have been driving my new 87 K100lt bike for about a month and roughly 1300km. Bike runs fine and everything sound great but there has been several times when I´m turned my bike off fuel pump keeps going. First time I thought the sound was from radiator or something so I left my bike there and went home. Next morning battery was dead and that noise was obviously gone.
I bought a new battery and went for a long weekend trip. On that trip I realized that sound was coming from fuel pump. If I shut down the bike, pump keeps going. If I start up bike again and shut it down again, pump keeps going. I have been unskrewing battery ground to shut down that pump. And when I connect that battery ground again the pump starts immediately. And yeah it´s really annoying because you can´t never tell when this will happen. You could ride a week without any problems and then it happens three day in a row etc.
I think that the fuel pump keeps going if I don´t have like enough gas. I have been trying to keep my gasoline level really high and maybe this has helped. But then again I might be really wrong about this one. As I said earlier I´m really new to this bike so I haven´t had enough time to open to see what kind of a mess those electronics are under the tank and a seat. So I have changed my battery and I also checked battery positive and ground for good contact.
So what to do? What to check first? Diods, relays, wiring, new fuel pump?
