Coming home from work the other night on the freeway doing about 75 m.p.h., my VMAX started to sputter in 5th gear like it would do when the low fuel light comes on when having to switch to RES. Confused, :ummm:I still switched the fuel selector to RES hoping that maybe the low fuel level light maybe burned out. I wasn't so fortunate! Keep in mind that I had just topped off the fuel about 25 miles before this happen. Getting off the freeway and riding the rest of the way home I noticed that the problem was somewhat intermittent around 5000 but not all the time. Today, turning on the ignition and waiting for the servo and fuel pump to cycle, it sounds like the fuel pump is cycling with only a few and slow clicks. The bike starts (doesn't seem to be a battery problem) and idles fine. Does it sound like I got some bad fuel or maybe the fuel pump is going out? I will run it a little today and see if it does the same thing. If it does the same thing, I'll drain the fuel and replace the fuel filter. If that doesn't remedy the prob, I'm guessing fuel pump or maybe fouling plug. Any input??? Thanks.
