Hello all,

Had an 05 Tuono for 5years, we've had some scrapes (they do crash well :S ) did 9 days on the continent on her, perfect bike for it! We started our relationship at 7k miles and we have 22.8 now. Just getting her back on the road after 3 years (long story) and she is being a little difficult :( I look forward to spending time on these boards as I'll never part with her. She has plenty of extras, mainly after she has come to harm (backed into twice and ridden into a vw golf) k&n, power commander, chipped, akro, carbon fibre bits, lighter radiators, and other bolt on nonsense!
 
good intro Moo but possibly a bit overdue :lol welcome on board mate :thumbup
:worthless

hopefully this works! I'm only on my mobile at the mo!
 
I will put some more up when I'm near her. Still very much a work in progress. Trying to get her restarted. Was running yesterday, but kept starving of fuel. Found two kinks in the hp fuel line, so took the pipe off and titivated it to the right shape, and now it won't even TRY to fire. So I'm working from the pump forwards to see what the culprit is. Does anyone know if it needs bleeding after that braided pipe has been off?
 
Well... Cracked the fuel return off and milky froth pissed out where the fuel used to be :O water getting past the tank cap seal I think. Have drained and put new fresh shiney fuel in. Just charging the battery (a-fookin'-gain) and hoping I haven't royally screwed my injectors :S
 
Bad news to leave fuel in there for to long, dunno what it does to injectors but a years worth in the tank and not fired up on a carburated machine = fooked.

The fuel separates with time and breaks down into shilack and coats all the surfaces it's in contact with.

If it turns oot that yer injectors are coated it's no big deal, yer jist need to get them cleaned in an ultra sonic cleaner or cut yer losses and get second hand ones.

Hope it's not as I suggested and something simpler, good luck mucker and I hope yer sorted sooner than latter.
