Had the Cannondale out for a little spin, and it just shut off on me. Well it will start but if you touch the gas it dies! It starts every time but it just dies when I hit the gas.I replaced the fuel filter and its the same, the fuel pump runs when I hit the starter. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you have all the updates done yet? Is your Air filter really grimey, causing a really rich condition maybe?

Had all the updates, airfilter is clean. Guess it will go back to the dealer to have them look at it.

Did you have the fuel line re-routed yet? This stopped my stalling problem right away.

Have you checked the battery connections? Mine did that and when I would touch the gas it caused more vibration and would disconected the battery. It would still start back up though when no vibration was going. Anyway hope you get that fixed.

I just got back from a poker run, and mine was stalling all day. I had to give it gas to get it to start back up. Have you had your fuel configuration altered since you've broke it in? They say after the break-in, you'll need to adjust a couple of things. Once the injectors are broken in and stuff. I'll be playing around with mine next week.

Check your o-rings on the gas lines. They swell over time and need replaced.

Did you by chance install the fuel filter backwards?

This happened before I changed the filter. I was only going for a spin on the road hit 4th gear and it shut down.

Canman, I have had the same prob with my cannibal. Whenever I hit the throttle mid way in first or second if felt as if there was air in the fuel line and It would stall. The problem with mine was the operating code. Once I installed the new OP code I didn't experience anymore stalling. Check their site under service bulletins. Hope it helps
