    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

riding down the highway about 65 mph, was around 95 here in missouri..so probably 115 in cali or arizona..

anywho it felt an sounded like it was runnin on 2 cylinders...it would cut out then go away an kept doing it...so i stopped an check my fuel which was ok...sat for a min and rode it again to my destionation..

same route home i did 70 for 28 miles even brought it to 110 a few times but it was on the verge of raining and had cooled off a good amount...not a single problem coming home
 
Could be a jetting problem. That's one of the reasons I prefer to keep my bikes stock. When my bike is not running right, I know it's NOT the jetting.

mines been jetted for my pipe...ive rode it all summer like it is but today it just acted up this one time...maybe it passed something through a carb or something silly
 
Sounds like something in the fuel. I filled up once going home from the mountains and the bike started running pretty ragged. I got to a town about 40 miles from where I fueled up, got some Seafoam and dumped in, in a few miles it cleared up.
 
Could it be a failing wire to one of the coils? I had one break right where it enters the coil, but it gave me no warning before failing completely.
 
I agree with MrBill- sounds like a little water in your gas, with the weather changing here in KY similar to MO- hot to cold snaps with the high humidity bring condensation- possibly enough to cause you the grief- gas treatment and ride on.

Totally agree. Start with this before you tear into something.
