Bike Sounds like its out of gas/Won't start
Well I rode today..The bike ran good all day. I go to leave to head home and take off shift 2 gears and the bike sounds like it was running out of gas and was bogging down then it died and it wouldn't started again.. Would turn over but sounded like it was bogging when I gave it throttle. I just put 2gals in it? This guy out there said it my be the Throttle Postion censor or something. Any ideas?

congrats on getting back to your bike!
Was there old fuel/maybe water in it? My bike did the same exact thing when i had rain water collect on then into my tank. Take your tank off, empty it out, rinse with fresh gas, let it air dry and put it back on with fresh gas. Make sure your fuel pump is coming on too and you got pressure.

check your vent line on your tank make sure its not clogged, easy wasy is just open your tank and it makes a big suction type noise thats the problem

I think it was just a little bad gas.. I dumped most of it out.. Came back the next day and put some F.I cleaner in it with newer gas and it ran fine.
