2007 enduraid date confirmed - midwest area ride

[Greg Autrey]

Brief background. Bike dies, seems like out of gas, but have plenty. Working the petcock between reserve and on would get it to go a few more miles. Also, opening gas cap seemed to help. Still dies. I pulled the petcock and diaphram, looked perfect and clean, with only some gasket material that was bunged up and I removed. Breather hose to tank is clear, the bike is decalifornicated. Went on a couple 20 mile rides, no problem. Pack up to do some good desert riding today, same symptoms. Any ideas? I am sure it is fuel related, but it may be electrical. I was thinking of pulling the carb, and doing the two safety bypass fixes just in cast that is the problem. I posted this before if it seems familiar, no answer yet. I have an extended warranty, which I never used or hope to. Like to do my own work, but am considering going to the dark side. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Greg in Chandler, AZ 2006 w/5k miles, fully farkled

just in cast that is the problem. Do the safety bypass fixes first. Not hard and you ll eventually have to do them anyway. I ll bet that s it. Bogdan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

First thing is check everything for holes leaks or what have you. Then pull the carb and disassemble, check, adjust, reassemble. Can't realy narrow it down much more then that I would just start eliminating things. Kerry --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "Greg Autrey" wrote:

Assuming that the petcock is functioning, and the gas is "clean" , i.e. no clogged carb jets, or water in the gas. then check the valve clearances. Too tight clearances can cause the bike to run briefly then quit. -- Charliey
