storm wont run HELP

[VTRMark]

Can anybody help, i have just fitted a k & N air filter and now my bike wont run its as though its starving of fuel please help, i've spent all day pulling the petrol tank on and off my bike and still cant get itto run, it wil start but as soon as you open the throttle the bike starts missing , popping and just dies

Sounds like the mixture may be too weak now there is more air getting through than the standard filter.

Have you tried putting the standard filter back in to see if it runs ok?

I'm no mechanic but a K&N and no rejetting means more air flow and not enough fuel

Thanks, any ideas on altering mixture, cant put oe filter back chucked it away thinking wont need that any more..............tw@

Lift the tank back up and put the thinner hose back on the correct bit of the fuel tap. Theres 2 places it can go, bet you've put it on the wrong one.

Yup. Hose on wrong connector. I fell for that one (took me tree days to figure it out (after reading message on this forum)

[sirch345]

If you turned the fuel tap off did you remember to turn it back on

[VTRMark]

so you have 1 thin tube and 1 thicker tube joined to a thinner tube where should they fit

If im not mistaken there is 5 hoses to be connected 3 on the right side and 2 on left.

on the right side 2 thick hoses then there is a hose with like a white nozzle in the end i think that connects to the underside of tank i say think because im about to reconnect all mine and was unsure about the line with the white nozzle in the end.

on the left side there is a thin hose and thick hose but you need to put the thin hose on the correct inlet its quite easily put on the wrong one as there is 2 places it would fit


hope all this makes sense

Not sure if this will work. I've uploaded an exploded view of the fuel system. It shows the hoses but but not where they connect to.
