I did a funny thing today

[plop]

On the weekend

Changed my Plugs and oil and filter and checked the air filter...
Went to work today and filled up with gas but on the way to the gas stop the bike was puttering and cutting out.

1 i thought mabye its cold so will be fine in a moment
2 The new plugs are playing up

Anyway filled up and went to start no go ..it was firing but no juice

Idea flashed you... idiot you had the gas turned of when removing the tank cool, turn it on and try again,,, still no go after about four attempts took the helmet off and heard the weeping sound of running gas out of my gas tube

I forgot to hook it back up and managed to empty half a tank of gas

Wat a dork

haaa

Welcome to the site, I take it you know about TCWNR's?

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=25809&highlight=tcwnr

Come along if you wanna join in with the slower paced Welly riders.

I'll just make sure I'm not behind you. My bike doesn't like petrol on it's tyres or debris from fellow motorcyclists bikes.

What a hoot! A post like that is guaranteed to get you noticed. Perhaps you should get SpankMe to change your name to "Gurgle'??
Welcome to the crazy place - you'll fit in.

Welcome Plop, Wellington needs more hondas :cool: I've done similar, tried for about 15 minutes to crash start the bike with the fuel turned off. I rode to Silverstream once with the stand down. We all do stupid stuff, its what makes this place a good laugh.

Check out the TCWNR, its a load of fun with good people.

Sounds familiar to me, about 1 month ago having recently purchasing a GN250 the previous owner had said he normaly got 240km out of a tank - I took that as a definitive number......

So on my way home after about 200km on the clock, blasting up the long grafton motorway onramp I suddenly started losing power, unsure as to what was happening i decided it was best to change down and pull over, when I went to let the clutch out now in fourth the motor was no longer spinning so my back wheel locked up. ahhhhh...

Figured i'd pull my clutch back in and slowed down, took me about 5minutes before it even crossed my mine that i *might* be out of fuel, onto the reserve and bobs ur Uncle. Turns out I might have been riding it a bit harder then the previous owner :yeah:

And then there was the time I tried to take the bike off the center stand without sitting on top of it..:slap: - noobies!

Well that's about right, 200 km on main tank plus 40 km on reserve gives around 240 km on a tank full.

Oh, welcome to the site. I see this was your first post.

Welcome :)

Next time you loose power like that just jam the choke on to keep it running and then turn the tap over.... I find my ZXR takes a bitta starting after I run it dry.... Or maybe I'm just impatient.

(P.S. Hapened to me at night on SH16 about 25KM outa wellsford a few weeks back, everyone does it ;))

[XP@]

kinda like running out of fuel on the motorway, calling a friend, friend arrives with fuel, fills up bike ride off. a few days later do the same thing. then whilst stitting next to the bike wondering what you are going to do spot a little tap.
