ran out of gas..?
i knew I was low but still did a wheelie(got it up around 10) started to ride it a lil and bam. slammed down and no gas. someone had fcukin switched it to reserve and I had no gas @ all. i am guessing my brother took it out this morning 
has anyone had this happen to u when doin wheelie? this also applies to riding one and throttle goes out

Re: ran out of gas..?
Happened to me yesterday. I had to wait about 45 minutes to get someone to get me gas. But, unlike you, I only have myself to blame for leaving it on reserve. There aren't any indicator arrows after all. Mine didn't quite stop running up in the air...it sputtered a little bit as I was slowing back down, then died.

Re: ran out of gas..?
Brings back memory of ancient proverb:
Wise man fills gas tank when he is heading home for the day so he not run out of gas next time he gets on motorcycle......
You have much to learn grasshopper....
Hell, my sister did it on my bike a few months back, she was out riding with some friends of mine while I was at work and ran out like 2 miles from my house. She totally forgot about the reserve and had to call my friends to bring her some gas on the highway. Sad part was i woulda thought the gas gauge staring her in the face reading empty woulda given her the clue she was about to run out.

Re: ran out of gas..?
don't hop on a bike and do **** without checking it over.
i check pegs, bolts, clip-ons, chain, everything on it.....if you overlooked the reserve and ammount of gas i doubt you even checked anything else. you'll learn the hard way if a peg is loose. check your **** and keep it safe!
