| ok folks an update
After clearing breather and draining water yesterday I fuelled up tonight, if it was really full last time I fuelled it should have taken 2 gals or 9 litres as I did approx 100 miles ( i knew it wasn't full as on the last fill it only took the usual 8 litres when it should have been over 12). Anyway, I decided I wouldnt change speed or way I filled it, after 10 litres went in and fuel wasn't in sight of neck i knew things were looking up, at 15 litres the pump finally clicked off, rode the 1 mile home, opened cap and hey presto, fuel visible at neck of filler.
So, solution seems to be clearing the black plastic box breather and or blowing through cap and hose connected to black box. my thoughts are that the breather is sucking in either water or dust as the tank drains fuel from rear of tank. I'd ridden a lot on motorways in a lot of spray, the breather pipe outlet seems to sit right above rear wheel and must get all the crap thrown up at it.
will keep checking the breather and giving it a regular blow job to see how things go.  |
