Greetings to all,
I have been riding my 01 st4 for 20 years with almost no problems. Last month it was riding fine and I decided to get some gas. Immediately after filling the bike seemed as though it was running on one cylinder or maybe two but with no power. I was able to nurse it home and syphon the gas into a clean bucket. There was nothing wrong with the gas that I could see so I poured it into other vehicles and had no problem with them. The dealer felt that it was a problem with the fuel pump but I am not so sure. The advice was to take the tank off and check the hoses around the pump. As much as this might be good advice I feel there might be a problem with the injectors. The bike has 35,000 miles on it an has been regularly serviced. They said they have never touched the injectors. Does any one have any thoughts?
