    I have new 08 TE450, was riding home from work and knew I was low on fuel. I thought once fuel light comes on I had 9-12 miles which get me to town.

    The light came on and about 30 seconds later I was pulling over. I could see some fuel in the left side of tank.

    Is this normal? I got 54.2 miles before pulling over. A guy pulls over and goes to get me some gas and would even take any $

    Thanks

    Unfortunately that seems to be the norm. These bikes don't have a very good range. I can't say about the fuel light, as I have yet to run it dry. Halls carries a bigger tank for more range.

    That's usually a sign that the fuel pump is coming out of it's socket. Pull the pump and push it all the way back down in the socket and add some zip ties to hold it in place. The OE zip is probable shot.

    I pulled mine today and it had come apart again. I thought I had it all fixed up and it couldn't come apart, but I was obviously wrong. Guess I'll try something else this time.

    fuel light

    I ride a 310 and right around 50 miles my light comes on. I was able to go 12.4 kilometers farther. Not sure when it would have ran dry.

    Could fill in your general location so we know where you are? Makes it much easier to following the ride reports, etc.

    Would you please post up photos of this fix/repair. I would love to speak Greek but it's all new to me.

    I was going to, but forgot to take the pictures before I put it back in.

    There are two fingers that curve in over the top of the pump to hold it down. When tight, the zip ties compress them toward the top and the zip ty slides off the end.

    There is another finger in a bracket looking thing 90 degrees from the two hold down fingers that point out away from the pump. It's between a couple of posts that form this bracket looking thing. If you lace your zip ty around the through this bracket thing so it's under the outward pointing finger then back around the hold down fingers, it should keep the zip ty from sliding off the fingers that hold the pump.

    Clear as mud, right?

    I took the liberty of filling in your location, feel free to change it in your User CP to make it less specific if you want. A general location really does help me follow the threads more. For instance if someone is near me I can offer to help out in person, or even go riding.

    Yep, that was as clear as mud.
    I am sure someone will have the photo soon.

    Thanks,
