I got my F3 about 2 months agoan love it. But I have ran into my first major issue. I was riding on the interstate and my bike sounded like it was running out of gas. It was about time to switch to reserve though so I switched over, but it did nothing. It continued to die and I went to the side of the rode. From there it was a long time of not starting. It would crank and crank, but no start. The light come on and the battery is brand new. Go the bike back to my house and pulled the gas tank, gas flowed out on reserve and on "on". There were no signs that I noticed. It has ran fine the whole time I have owned it. The bike has 15,000 miles on it. I pulled a plug and it had some "what looked to be oil, possibly gas" on it. I wiped it off and it cleaned right up. I dont even know what else to say...ANY IDEAS???

 

replace spark plugs and coils

 

just so were clear you were on the "reserve"position when trying to start it ? ive seen alot of people myself included whne they 1st get their f series bike and try and switch it over (especially when the markings are gone) and put it in the off position and try and start it. sounds like you might've flooded the cylinders trying to get it started .. pull the plugs, dry them off, get some gas and make sure your in the proper fuel position..
