with just over 200,000 kms on the 2006 RSV, the bike fails to start. Though it will crank and crank and crank, it won't catch. At first I thought it's the fuel pump (2nd one) I then notice the fuel gauge flashing 8 times, pause three secs, flashes 8 more time etc. According to the book, this indicates that the thermistor or sending unit is faulty. This bike hasn't shown proper fuel levels in a while now, usually drops to below half after 20 miles but holds sorta kinda normal down towards the last 3 bars.. (added) I now notice that the far right fuel bar flashes continuously after trying to start the bike.. the bike shows the far left bar as indicating a bad sender.. is the book bass ackwards? How does a bad fuel gauge sending unit affect if the engine should start or not? What's the normal course of action for repairs for this? Pull out the fuel sending unit and have a look at it to see if anything is obvious and if not, replace it? This had happened once before, thinking it was flooded but managed to start the bike after waiting 30 minutes.. did not notice any flashing fuel gauge that time.. (it might have been flashing but not seen). Thanks in advance for any advice. Cheers
