floods and kills the engine, you gotta turn your fuel petcock to off, and then do the trick, and you can only go for 2-3 mins before the gas runs out.

This is bullshit.

I have a F3 (which you have) and 900rr. I have never heard of anybody that turns their petcock off. At most the floats might need to be adjusted. Flooding is because the carbs are at an angle at witch they were not designed to run...turing the fuel off does nothing for the fuel in the bowls...they still have some tendency to flood. I rock my **** and never have had a problem unless I park it on the bar it will die. If U have everything adjusted right U shouldn't have any probs. Again people talking **** about something they know nothing about.
