Hi
I am having a problem with my K100 RT.. On way home from work the other day bike spluttered to a halt. From a full tank the trip was showing 154 miles. Checked in tank and there was still fuel in to a level where fuel was visible at sides and rear end of tank. Anyone had a similar problem and does anyone know where the fuel pick up is positioned in the tank. The only thing I can see that may be a problem is the pipe which is connected to the filter that then runs forward and down the front left inside area of the tank appears to have had a repair with some sort of sealant. If this is not sealing correctly and the fuel is below any hole that should be sealed would the pump draw in air instead of fuel from the pick up further down in the tank.
Hope someone can help. Thanks
Andy
