IN WHAT Country , they sell this not just in UK. and they all do not have the same tank. some are 5.2Gallons. ok moved you out of computers,. to Motorcycles and deleted you email , do not post your email in public unless 1000 spams a day for 100 years is fun. or far far worse. (then then phish you and bam) not sure the question so will answer both. 1: mpg wrong, 2; WHAT IS THE RESERVE gallons missing in the book. ok MC 101 Are motorcycles new to you ,(ive owned too many to count) back to 1965 in fact, even had a real Triumph TR6 car (pure love there) OK MPG:? 865cc twin. guessing 35mpg. 45mpg on long trips. 2.5 gallons . (30x2.5=75miles) and 2.5gal would be 30mpg, and would be normal in the city or lots of fast stop and go. 4.4 gallons tank. below is the reports but is real bad, folks do MPG wrong. small tanks make MPG super hard to calc. unlike 20 in a car. the cure is learning to average 3 tanks. total fuel gal, and total miles, then divide. http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/triumph/speedmaster OR RESERVE; where is it? does your tank have fuel lever? bottom left is traditional or is your question really where is the reserve point that is missing in all online spec.. and in the book. over filling the small tanks by overriding the auto station nozzle shut off , makes MPG seem low. The low fuel lamp will illuminate approximately 3.5 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. (near 1 gallon almost) I am now reading your manual. and it's in Europe somewhere, and no clues as to reserve point. did you read your manual to see how any reserve works the book has no such word in the manual. EFI injection no EFI fuel pump likes running dry, so I bet dollars to donuts they don't make that easy. This the early warning light. (just like modern cars) never run one dry. the pump is fuel cooled and fuel lubricated, is why. that is all on fuel . tell what is the problem, your post is only a hint. ok? good luck, and ride safe.

Sounds like an ignition module is going open after warming up. Check for spark after it is warm and doesn't run.

Library sec629 has cycle books

Have you tried you tube there might be some thing on there

You are going to want to have the control module checked out. It regulates among other things. The fuel flow with regard to demand, ie... throttle position, air intake, speed, altitude, etc... And the companies are also designing some key parts with what is called "planned obsolescence". This means that instead of tinkering with it in your garage. You have to take it in for diagnosis and repair. Generating more "after sale" revenues. Sorry about the mini rant. I have issues. Anyway you also should check two more things before you go to the shop. 1) fuel filter. (they do need changing every so often) 2) Actual fuel you are using! And you can do that in your garage! They quality of fuel is questionable nowadays. Within Two tanks, my performance was noticeably affected. Why you ask? I moved to Oregon., thats why! The fuel here is lousy. So we are always looking for the little private gas spots that DON'T have gas additives the big companies put in there. Hope this helped. Wheels down, Jason

Sounds like an air leak somewhere,

The socket the bulb goes in may be bad. Or it is not the correct bulb you installed.

Try this one, it gets high marks for reliability. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number#Transliterating_the_numbers Good luck!

Hello Rick, you should find a starter relay in the system. Refer to your owners manual for its rating and location.

You got to really want to do this. It's a lot of nutz and boltz.

from memory they are hinged at the front just under the radiator, undo the clips at the lower rear panel of the hood. Or are you asking about the soft top ?

any dealrship will know

Your description indicates a serious fuel starvation problem but a very weak spark could cause or aggravate the condition.

have you used a hot air gun or hair drier to remove decals

Fuses, ignition switch,bad wire

the left plug problem indicates where the fault is if you have duel carby , check for flooding in that carby

Valve gear generally does not produce load sensitive noises - because the load on these components do not vary in normal use. A load dependent noise is usually produced by a component that is subjected to varying loads - piston, piston rings, connecting rod bearings, etc. I suggest you treat yourself to a mechanics stethoscope or sonascope in order to more closely listen to your engine and attempt to pinpoint the source of the ticking noise.
