I got a call out of the blue today. A friend told a friend to call me about fixing a bike he just bought.
I told him I'de come check it out in the next few days, whenever I got a chance.
It's a 1999 TL 1000. I've ridden a couple and love them, but never worked on one.
He told me it was running fine, but now, just starts, runs for a few seconds, and then cuts off.
I told him it could be alot of things, and if I had to guess right off, maybe a clogged fuel filter, or dieing pump.
I'll figure it out.
My question(s) are pretty simple.
Are the TL's known for any particular problems? Is there anything at all that I should look out for, or pay special attention to?
I'm gonna do some reading on other forums and find some specs too(like compression).
Just thought I'de ask for some advice first from anyone experienced working on them.
Thanks for any info.
