Alright so I just bought a '06 speed triple 1050 and Im having a little trouble with it. The bike ran great for the test ride, and I have started it without a problem a few times since and it ran great, until yesterday.... After tinkering with the handle bars and controls getting it set up the way I wanted, I tried to start it again. It started and ran a little rough so I killed it. I opened the fuel cap and noticed there was some water around the rim, and also realized there wasn't much gas in the tank. It was getting late so I called it a night. Came back to it today and added maybe a tablespoon of dry gas and a gallon of high test. Tried starting it a few times and it fired but only a revolution or two then it quit. I noticed a greenish liquid coming from the tank drain so I took the tank off, turned the motor over a few times to clear the lines. I noticed more of this greenish liquid (almost the color of anti-freeze) around the rim of the tank. stuck a paper towel in the tank and it came out the color that high test should. the greenish liquid is flamable so I'm guessing it is just gas mixed with some weird buildup in the drain line. after doing my best to clean everything out, I put the tank back on hooked it up and tried to start it with no luck. Is it possible that I fouled the plugs from trying to start it so much? also any ideas of what the greenish liquid could be? I'm not real familiar with fuel injected motors so is there something else that I am missing, do I need to prime the fuel lines or should the pump take car of that? Thanks for the help
