so i had the fuel starvation while the petcock is "ON" problem a month or so ago, so i've just been running my bike on "PRI" and everything's gravy...but today on a longer ride i forgot to switch it to "PRI" and ran the whole way on "ON" w/o any problems whatsoever!!! i mean im not knocking the fact that the "ON" switch works now but my lil gs must be one temperamental bike!! lol

On the flip side...
On Saturday's Ride (http://www.gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12143) I finally had a small taste of "fuel starvation" in the ON position.
I was tooling up a slight incline for 30+ miles doing an indicated 90 - 100 mph. I had ridden less than 100 miles on a freshly-filled tank when I felt a bit of hesitation come ... and go. When I felt it again I switched the petcock to the PRIme position for about 15 seconds, then to REServe for a couple minutes, and finally back to ON. It never hesitated again, but that could be because the road leveled out soon afterwards. I stopped to fill up again and only put in 2.115 gallons. :dunno:
Golly, I feel like I've joined a (not-so-exclusive) club!

I guess I could scan my gas station receipt if you really want to see it. :?
Kerry if you scanned that and posted it I would laugh my A$$ off! I also want to add that I am in the same club with rest of the starving people.
fuel that is...
