I think igts down to the tank design and getting an airlock in the part of the tank under the seat. Bloody annoying

Sorry for speelling this isnt a qwert keyboard here.

I have tried movong the bike, shaking it etc but one in ten it happens no matter what you do.

There has to be a fix Shaun, its impossible top do big mileage without knowing you have fuel left. I can live with the duff gauge as long as the tank fills. If i'm stuck with 120 mile between fils i might as well use 999. i'm hoping this breather thing is the problem, might pull hose of and give it blow job

know what you mean about french or italian keyboards, weird typing on them, try a chinese one
