The bad news is that I needed a lift. The good news is that some really nice people helped me out with their cool pickup. Later that evening, at their house, I was able to fix the bike.
Ian9 years agoThe bike quit on SR155 between Omak, Washington and the Grand Coulee Dam. Felt like it ran out of gas, but there was plenty of gas, the fuel pump was working, the fuses all checked out, I had spark on both plugs, the injector relay was clicking, but the plugs were still dry, meaning the injectors weren't injecting any fuel into the cylinders. I thought about what you said about the R1100S and how its crankshaft position sensor failed, causing the same symptoms. It's a long story, but ultimately some Canadians from Penticton, BC offered to take me there and even put me up for the night while I try to get a truck or something. That evening, just before bed, I had a thought - could the fuel line have come separated from the fuel pump inside the gas tank? It had! I fixed it using the tools I had on the bike and rode home the next morning. Phew!
