I have a problem

mach1 · July 28, 2007, 04:58:27 PM

So I am riding my bike and go to fill up, The gas station I usually fill up at is closed, So I use the station across the street and now when im riding my bike will Hunt/Search when Im at at speed. Keep in mind I used 89oct. Instead of 87.

sounds like water or a partial clog in the fuel system/carbs.possibly petcock diaphram.

get the gas station thing out of your head, it could be coincidence

Could be, I suppose, but you should shave more often. I've heard that Occam branded patent razors are quite useful at times.

Occam's Razor: entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity.

Or in retard: Try the simplest solution first.

Which in this case is: remove tank. Drain tank from petcock opening. Refill with known good gas. See if bike runs better.
