2017 won't run
06/22/17 at 10:47:26

Hi Guys i have a new 2017 S40 with 760km's on it. I drove to the gas station yeasterday and as I pulled up to the pump it backfired VERY loudly and stopped. I filled it with gas it only took 5 ltr's and it would not start. I put it on prime and did get it to run but it was running really bad and then it stopped again, and would not start. I had to truck it back to the dealer and have not herd back from them. Any ideas on what is going on? I hate to change anything as I have a 5 year warranty, but I'm not feeling that I have a reliable bike. Angry

That, or a vacuum line not secure or pinched or has a hole in it. Keep us informed what the dealer says. This is a great bike once you get the kinks worked out.

Hard to believe the petcock could fail on a bike so new - but it is possible.

Have them pull the vacuum line on the petcock and see if there is any trace of fuel in it.......that line should be dry. You can shove a golf tee in the vacuum tube, put a cap on the carb nipple, turn the petcock to PRI and see if the bike runs normal again. If it does....and you get the same bad running issue when you hook the vacuum line back up.....then you have confirmed the petcock is faulty.

Bad gas? prime didn't fix it so petcock is low on my list.

Now might be a good time to put a decent tire on it. If you haul the wheel and get a tire mounted, that's about thirty bucks labor. Take your Bike, let them pull the wheel off and reinstall it and it's gonna Cost Ya,
