New 750ie!

[Empower5]

Thanks to everyone who provided advice in last week's thread. I did wind up buying that Senna 750ie. (As if there was any doubt!) Here's a couple pics from the ride home. Having a few small issues: low fuel light/warning stays on, idling a tad high, no speedo atm, but nothing major. Can't wait for some warmer weather so I can ride!

[1.21GW]

My fuel light stopped working the second ride after I bought it (used), whereupon I ran out of has waiting for a warning that wasn't coming.  Never got it fixed and don't miss it.

Just curious: where is it idling at?

[Howie]

Your bike idle speed should be 11-1300 RPM.  As far as the low fuel light goes, as stated by 1.21GW, shouldn't be relied on.  Find out what your normal range is on a tank of fuel and fill up comfortably shy of that.  To do a basic diagnosis on the fuel light, lift tank, disconnect connector to sensor.  turn key on.  light off?  Sensor.  Light still on?  Wiring or problem inside cluster.  Fix it or not?  Up to you. 

Bike looks good.  Enjoy

Nice bike. Should run better than the carbed model from what I hear.

Stupid, but worth checking if you're new to these monsters:

Make sure the cold start/ fuel injection choke dial is turned ALL the way down. Otherwise it will idle high.

Nice bike . ..  as 1.21GW said, check the cable, if it is "too snug" it might be causing your high idle

How did those reflectors last this long???



Congrats.

Thanks yall- I was messing with the dial before it started, then closed it again. So maybe the cable is tight. Will check it out.

The fuel light/warning is a very minor annoyance and I will probably disable it, it's not like I need it!

Congrats!  I've got a 750 and have really enjoyed it for over a decade now!  I love that Senna color scheme, one of my favorites!

Nice! I do need to find some Duc riders in the Atlanta area to ride with.

[silas]

I can help w/ that.

[Empower5]

Nice- are you in the area? I'm in Gwinnett (East Atlanta). Looking forward to riding in North GA.

[silas]

East Atlanta is somewhere else to me (an Intown neighborhood, not Gwinnett Co.).  

Yes, I'm near you @ spaghetti junction & know a lot of intown duck riders.

Email me & I'll let ya know about some weekly events/ groups around town.

Congrats again.
