I changed my oil and put some Lucas in the tank on wednesday night. As I was changing my oil, my F3 fell of its stand to kickstand side. Picked her up and finished with the oil change after checking out the damage cursing.
Riding to work the next morning was normal. She started up normally and idle was normal. 30 minute ride no problem. On the way home I noticed the temp climbing. After approx. 20 minutes into the ride it started to bog on me. Definite loss of power at all rpm's. Had to gas hard to get going and finish my ride home. What could be going on. Also had a strong smell of gas about 5 minutes after I turned her off.


Any suggestions or experiences will be appreciated. I've been going through withdrawals!

lets see

check the fuel selector valve and make sure it didnt get shifted when the bike fell. If it moved it may start to leak a little. Make sure the fuel pump didnt get all shuffled around. Check the fuel lines to make sure they are all tight.

Check your coolant, the radiator cap can be reached from under the fuse panel if your good.
