Ok guys, weird one, my missus 675 tripple now wont run with the tank closed and flat to frame, if I raise it up and prop it, it works fine, but soon as start to lower it, it cuts out and wont restart.

All I did was lift it to swap the flasher relay Sad

any ideas?

Try cranking it over in the dark, see if there's a firework show going off under the tank.

thats one way lol, fuel hose did look kinked but done what can to make sure wasnt pinched, even put the original relay back in place see if that was issue. wondering if wire is being shorted.

The electrics on these are dicky. Check the 8 way connector next to the right hand frame rail as it does have a habit of burning itself out. Maybe the tank is touching on this?
