Does anyone suffer from this problem. About every 10,000kms I need to get the fuel filters on my 99 busa replaced. According to the Suzuki mechanic the problem is mainly on the return side, and the bike is effectively flooding. I'm careful where I buy petrol and have changed my 'home' station 3 times since the problem.
When the problem presents itself it is a real pain in the arse. The bike stalls on backoff, when coasting, and after acceleration. It's very embarrassing to pass someone on the freeway only to stop 100 further on trying to restart the bike. Wait 30 seconds and it starts again.
After the filters have been replaced the bike runs fantastic, but this is a very expensive exercise as I clock 10,000 km about every 2 months. I've had the filters replaced about 6 times now so it's getting very expensive. The last time it happened the fuel lines were also replaced and the tank flushed, but that was just before Christmas and what do you know?
The tank hasn't been raised since the last service so the fuel lines shouldn't have gotten kinked.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Since there is a large filter on the inlet can I lose the return one?
Is this just a normal '99 Busa trait?
Should I try running it on diesel?(I'm runnin' out of options)
Hope you can shed some light,
WARD
