Hi all,
I had this problem happen last year about 3 times and twice now this year. It happens when the weather is hot like now and I been riding hard then like last week going to kentucky from ohio I got in a traffic jams on I71, stop and go for about an hour temp on bike past halfway point, gas tank half full, outside temp is about 90. What happens when I finally start to get moving again I just get up to about 70 mph about 3 miles down the road then I start loosing power. I pull over to the side of the road the bike stalls, I open gas cap and choke the bike finally it sputters then starts to run ok Then I start going and again stalls, 3x get going I get off at the next exit fill up with full tank of gas and no more problems, I continued on to mammoth cave with no other problems, put on 1100 miles with out a problem, This happens always the same way, I changed fuel filter, air filler, plugs, I don't think its the fuel pump maybe vapor lock any ideas on how to correct this? Thanks Scott
