Ran it with the fuel light on for about 30 km before i filled up with gas.  I may have filled it past the mark

Wont run or catch on but im able to rev it but just dies afterwards

At high rev makes a wierd sound

Fuel pump makes a sound when key is turned

At the gass station now
Thanks for any help

Open the cap and see if it will run with it off. If so, the vent is clogged.

Could be over filled and flooded the charcoal canister (if it still has it) with gas. Flooding the bike with excessive fuel.  After a few starts and revs, it burnt the excess off and now running OK.

Both my CARC bikes would act that way when left in hot sun with near full tank.  Wouldn't idle for about a minute, I had to keep revving the engine to keep them running. After 30 to 60 seconds they would run fine. Once I disconnected the canisters, neither did it again.
The best part of riding a motorcycle is to tilt the horizon and to lift the front coming out of a corner and to drift the back end powering thru loose dirt and to catch a little air topping a hill and... yeah it's all good!
