Howzit guys,

I have been riding my KLE for about 6 months now from Skeerpoort to Cresta randburg every day and like clockwork I hit reserve at 250km

Now this month I have moved to Roodekrans and have been riding to work and back thinking this bike is pretty light on fuel cause I had not hit reserve and it was 296km....

Well turns out this morning about a km from work I hit reserve, I turned the tap to reserve and guess what bike still wouldnt start???

so leaned the bike to the left turned the tap to Primer and lit up a smoke.

a few seconds later I fired up the bike and made it to the office.

I know that I ride some hills now and lean a bit more but how is it possible to ride a tank dry when the tap is not on Reserve?

Another thing I have noticed is when you try to get the front wheel up it never does. Then when riding anger like this morning it comes up while lane splitting???
