Recurring problem upon filling up with fuel

2002 M750. Took a video of what is happening. Taken at constant 1/4 throttle. The bike is straight piped, FYI.


Went riding today, started off my ride nearing empty so I stopped and filled up. Upon pulling out of the gas station, the bike started stuttering, sharply cutting out (felt like the bike was turning off for a moment). Upon coming to a complete stop, the bike died completely. It would start up again IF I pulled to almost 1/2 throttle. I was able to get it home (worst riding experience ever, being lurched forward unexpectedly, over and over again) and then took the video on my phone.

This has happened before. The solution was to let the bike sit for about 3 days and then the problem went away.

that's an EFI bike right? you say it takes about 3 days to " solve issue ", have you replaced the fuel filter lately? If yes, maybe a kinked line inside the tank or the fuel hose in tank is done  . . . If you need to replace it remember to use SAE 30R10

Could you, out of curiosity, measure the voltage at battery, start the bike and measure the voltage at battery again while engine is running . . .

In the meantime, also check spark plug cables, check the connection to the coils . . .

Correct, it an EFI. I have not replaced the fuel filter lately, can I use a generic filter in place of the canister? I went over the lines, no kinking.

My kickstand switch is still active and I'm on my own, I can't test the running voltage at the moment (is that switch easy to disable?).

Checked plugs, both are brand new but, upon testing, realized that the front (horizontal) head was not getting spark. The coil reads 5ohms, there is voltage (about .3V) to the coil when the bike is on (did not test while running).

I will be running to get some new plugs and wires this evening.
