Won't Start/Reserve
I've had my 2002 1150R for a year and a half. It currently has 27k miles. This morning was the first time it won't start. It turned over ok; it seemed to be starved for fuel as I didn't smell much gas which usually indicates fuel but no spark. Then again, I have little experience with the Motronic system. As I was riding home, a week ago, the yellow reserve light turned on, but I only traveled 17 miles before parking the bike. Do these bikes have a history of, sometimes, not starting when on reserve ? Should I add a gallon of gas and try again ? Any advice/thoughts appreciated.

I'd put some fuel in the tank and see if it helps, before starting the troubleshooting process .
