Hello,
I have an '02 V11 Lemans that is a fantastic bike when everything works correctly. That's not the case right now. Here's the history of my problem.
Originally, I could start the bike up and go for a semi-lengthy ride. When I got to my destination, the bike would not restart (heat related?). I could not hear the fuel pump cycle on. This only happened after a ride long enough the get the engine fairly warm. I replaced the fuel pump and the fuel pump relay. I took the bike for a 30 mile ride. It stumbled twice at higer RPMs under load, but I made it home. When I got the home the bike restarted immediately, even though there was a delay with the fuel pump cycling on, which happened only after the relay made a whole bunch of clicking sounds that were not typical. I let it sit for approximately 1/2 hour and tried to restart. It would start and immediately die. I tried this several times with the same result. A few days later it fired right up and ran normally.
I wish I had more patience for diagnostic work. Do I have an issue in the electrical system prior to 12 volts reaching the relay? Any suggestons are greatly apprciated.
