A while back I posted a problem with the bike dying at high speeds. With the advice given I have replaced the petcock under the tank, Carbs have been cleaned, yet the next day while I was out riding the bike still died on me at high speeds. I have used the search mode, I looked inside of the tank and checked for rust and didnt see any. Ive checked the vents to make sure that it wasnt clogged and its venting fine. So my question is what do yall think?? Could it be the frame mounted valve, do you think the pingel valve would be my next step?? Thanks for the help guys..
It could be the frame-mounted petcock. :(
I had similar problems with fuel starvation last year. I replaced the frame-mounted petcock with a new OEM and problem solved! I know some guys have used non-Suzuki petcocks, but I don't know the details. A search of "fuel starvation" should bring up several possible solutions. :)
Yea, the frame mounted one is where you should have started IMO. You may also want to closely inspect your carb boots/diaphragms for tears that was my problem w/ starvation :thumb:
k, I will look at that next, thanks guys..

could be you were just low on gas. happened to me once or thrice.
running on prime generally solved my higher speed petcock issues, provided there was enough fuel.
