i go aut for a ride today, and its like 90+ degrees out. im riding my little 400, andafter about 10 minutes i get to a stretch of road with a 45mph speed limit from 30. so, i grab a handful of throttle, it starts to accelerate, then starts to cut out every few seconds, like im running out of gas. cant be, because i still had half a tank. i thought maybe it wasnt getting fuel, so i switched the petcock to prime to see if the problem went away, nope... i limp home, checked the plugs, they were clean. check the oil, ok a little low so i picked up some castrol gtx and went to change it. then, OUCH! i practically burned myself on the engine casing. damn this thing was HOT. now, this is all entirely very odd because yesterday i went on a 30 mile ride and it ran smooth as silk the entire time. and didnt get nearly this warm. and now after less than 4 miles, its running bad and is four million degrees farenheit. whats the deal?

I would check your fuel supply first. If it's starving for fuel it will run lean and hot. Do you have an in-line fuel filter installed? Maybe it's plugged up?85 GS1150E May '06 BOM

All right if you're petcock is fine is the fuel tank venting?

EDIT: WHOO! got it sorted. seems there was a grain of something clogging the main jet, starving the right cyl of fuel at throttleLast edited by Guest; 07-27-2007, 07:06 PM.Comment
