Problem was a clogged jet in the carb.

Unlikely but try opening the tank and see if you get a nice Whoosh sound. I say unlikey as you just filled up and you only ran it one mile. You never know though as the remaining air in the tank was minimal so it won't take much to build up a vaccuum. Mine did this only one time, but I was almost out of gas so I initially thought I had simply ran out. Pulled over and tried a few things. Finally cracked open the gas cap and heard that Whoosh. Bike fired right up after that. At least it's something to try. Good luck and hope you get it figured out soon....greeny   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #285033 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Re:Confirm my guess? 2 Years ago   Take a piece of fuel line and run it between the jugs straight from petcock to carb . If it goes, it's either pump or relay. Same thing happened to me, and I've been happily pumpless for the two+ years since that happened to me.

Hey I did that last weekend at the Ruidoso New Mexico Aspencash Rally! Throttle cable came loose while riding through twisties, nursed it to rally and pulled off tank fixed cable put tank on and promptly rode away.....for about 500 feet then sputtered to a stop. Looked down and as Homer Simpson would say " DOH!!"

I'll ask ! What size is the fuel line ? I don't know w/o pulling the line off to figure it out ! I really want the extra piece of fuel line in my saddlebag for the unexpected emergency. And the big question.....IS 6'' ENOUGH   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #285211 DKLAZ (User) of COURSE I need a second bike dear!!! Expert Boarder Posts: 496 Re:Confirm my guess? 1 Year, 12 Months ago   You guys ROCK!!!! I'll tear into the problem tonight, but here's where I think I am right now. There's no WHOOSH when I remove the cap....tried that by the side of the road when she first quit running. The pump HAS been relocated under the right side cover. There's NO whir/buzz when I turn on the key, so either the relay is dead or the pump is dead. The gas IS ON (thanks Shamrock). I'll pull the fuel line off the pump and run it right to the carb and see what we end up with. Anything else I should look out for, as I get into the job?
