I noticed this morning that the fuel pump didn't make the usual priming noise when i turned on the ignition. Though it was odd so turned off and back on and this time there it was. Rode to work parked up all happy.
Come time to come home and definitely no noise, stopped on the way home and still no noise, when i arrived home i tried it a few times and no noise.
It seems to run fine but i'm a little worried by the lack of the noise and it does seem to smell quite strongly of petrol at times. I get EFI flashing for about 2 secs on power on and then that goes off and it fires up pretty much straight away and seems to run fine.
One other quick question, i have read about rear brake issues but mine seems to work fine, not too grabby and has decent feel to it. I noticed when i got home today though that the disc was really quite hot, even after the short blat home of 4 miles. Is it common for the rears to start binding on the Apes. It was a known issue on my Z1000 and had to have the brakes stripped cleaned and lubed pretty regular but that had done nearly 30000 miles. i notice the Tuono has a wavy disc on the rear so i'm wondering if this has come up before.
Thoughts, observations, piss taking of the paranoid noob Prilly owner all greatly appreciated, although the first 2 appreciated more than the latter.
Cheers
