Hi everyone,

Ive just bought a 2007 RSV Mille with 4,000 miles on the clock it has full service history, ive only put 250 miles on the clock myself but twice now when riding it develops a running problem, it has no power, surges, trys to throw me over the handle bars if i open it up...! the strange thing if i stop and top the fuel up, only another 6ltrs or so it starts to run fine again, is this a know fault?? can anyone help?

if this was a car id describe it as possible a faulty coil pack, dirty fuel, with how it misses, it is under warranty just the dealer i spoke to did not feel me with much confidence!!!

Thanks again

Scotty

Scotty you have a loose or pin holed hose in the fuel tank.

There was a recall on some 07/08 bikes with the problem and i suggest you take it to a dealer and ask them to check the following

A. if it's part of the recall and if it's done
B. If it's not part of the recall to check the fuel hose clamp in the tank is tight or the hose has pin holes (bubbling will be seen like a puncture in water on an innertube)
 
Thanks very much for your help, i will speak to the dealer..
