So for various reasons I've had the tank, fuel hose, injector rail, and injector off the Tenere. Back together now, but it won't run for more than a few seconds at a time before cutting out.

Can hear the fuel pump running when I turn the key on, so I've managed to plug that in properly.

Only explanation I can come up with is there's still air in the injection system, but I can't really think of a sensible way of getting it out other than to keep trying to start it (or generally rattling the bike around in the hope it finds its way back up through the pump).

Any suggestions? Or any other ideas for what might be the problem?


Something has also set the engine warning light flashing. I think there's a reasonable chance it's just objecting to the battery having got a bit flat with all the cranking over, although it's not gone away this morning with a freshly charged battery. Maybe it needs the engine to run for a while to reset it?

Just in case it is something else, can you actually get at the fault codes through the dash on the Tenere? I can only find instructions for the R/X on here.

Cheers
Dave
