I just posted this in another forum, and realized it should have probably gone here instead. My apologies:
Folks, I bought a 2000 Red Sprint ST yesterday, and just took her on her maiden voyage today. (Couldn't ride yesterday; too much snow!) Anyway, when I bought it, the guy said something about a fuel sender blah blah blah, and that it caused the fuel gauge to zoom up and down. I didn't really care, since my last bike didn't have a fuel gauge, and I'm pretty comfortable just going by the mileage. So I'm riding today, and I notice that when I brake, it does, indeed, cause the fuel gauge to go way down, presumably because the gas is sloshing away from some sensor. Again, no big deal. But I wound up stalling it twice when I was braking aggressively and had the clutch pulled in, like when coming to a quick stop at a light. Has anyone else had this problem? I saw a recall notice on this fuel sender thing, but it looked like my VIN number was a just a little too low. It hasn't jettisoned any fuel on my engine, so it doesn't really sound like the same problem, but if it is and I can get it replaced free, then I'm all over it. Thanks in advance.
