Then after a couple of KMs of slow riding at 50km\/h the bike started behaving badly, intermittent power delivery at small throttle openings, so bad I thought it was going to stop. It felt similar to the fuelpump flow issues I experienced earlier. I pulled into a petrol station and even though the fuel gauge said I had 3\/4 of a tank, I topped it off. It took 8.9 litres, so definitely wasn&#8217;t about to run out. After filling the tank everything went back to normal. All running perfectly. I am now wondering what all that was about?  Does the fuel tank level have any effect on the amount of fuel pumped? I wouldn&#8217;t expect it too, but one of the fuel pump tests specified a large amount of fuel in the tank. I&#8217;m going to do another fuel pump flow test later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Took it for a test ride and there was a significant improvement in performance, a lot smoother at small throttle openings.
