1150 gsa only firing on one cylinder after fuel drain down.

[Brit Basque]

Just had the old lady apart for a full brake rebuild and ABS removal.
Drained the tank right down to remove it.
Connected it all back up but only firing on one cylinder and a few backfires.
(I have quick-connects to a link pipe under the tank but can’t see a problem there.)

Throttles opening at the same time.
Too dark now to check the rest, sparks etc. But they were fine a month ago when I started this. No problem at all.
I will recheck tomorrow.

But I’ve read that an OP had to bleed the right side injector to get the fuel running again.

Any idea if this could be the culprit and how to bleed?
I’ve also only put about 3 litres of fuel back in the tank.
Maybe a bit more might help?

Did you check the RHS throttle cable is properly seated?

There’s an 1100/1150 “sticky” at the top of this section - Oil head info and tips .

Lots of times in the past people have asked why their bike is running rough.

A lot of times it will be after they've lifted the petrol tank up to get to the battery terminals.

When this is done the throttle cables can become unseated at the throttle body.

See the picture below.

There’s a reason it’s a ‘sticky’ and a race to see who can post that picture first. We’ve all done it, too…
