Fitted the Acerbis tank.

Half filled it with 11l fuel.

Went of to work.

About 20km into the commute, we came to a fuel starvation halt.

There appears to be an airlock forming in the carb. I used the bleed screw at the carb bottom to clear the bubble visible in the fuel pipe.

But the bike runs for about 30 seconds, then dead again. All symptoms of fuel starvation. Allow it to stand for 10 minutes, it starts up and runs for about 30 seconds.

Your thoughts gentlemen?
