stolennitrous Posted June 2, 2013 #1 Posted June 2, 2013 hello my air ride lights up when I turn my key to the first position but when its running the display is blank... any ides? Also my fuel pump clicks, it does not hum when I power up the bike. do I need a new fuel pump just to be on the safe side since the bike has been sitting for a year?

Air ride only works in ACCY position. Probably a safety thing to keep riders from messing with it while under way. It can be bypassed though. Gary

Clicks is what you should hear from the fuel pump. Up to 5 or 6 and then it will shut off. If the engine has not been started for a while it might be necessary to cycle the ignition once or twice more to get the carbs full.
pmelah Posted June 2, 2013 #4 Posted June 2, 2013 and since its been sitting a year seafoam :whistling::rotf: there i said it befor yammerdan :rotf::rotf: 1/2 can to half tank then run it like you stole it
bongobobny Posted June 2, 2013 #5 Posted June 2, 2013 Also, if your fuel pump humms, it's because it forgot the words... Even when running all it does is clicks unless you are pouring gas out by the bucketfull onto the ground.
stolennitrous Posted June 2, 2013 Author #6 Posted June 2, 2013 ok I tried it in ACC mode and it works like its supposed to. also with the new info on the pump I tried to teach it the words to a song, but never less it just clicks and I have great fuel pressure after changing the filter. Thank you everyone. I really appreciate it. its my first touring bike but looking forward to get out on it at the end of the week.
