So I'm riding into work this morning, 35 miles 1 way, and bike is running great. 65 mph the whole way no problem. Get 1 1/2 miles from my exit and the bike starts coughing and puking but somehow managed to maintain 50 mph and limp it to my exit and the last 4 blocks to work. Start it up twice throughout the day and bike fired right up and ran fine. I was super busy today and I didn't get a chance to look at it so I ended up leaving the bike at work and took a shop car home. I did look at the electronic ignition plate to see if that came loose again, but all was good there.
I'm thinking it's 1 of 2 things:
A - The wire is coming loose from the "ignition"/toggle switch which I have zip tied to the battery bracket where the nut came off yesterday, causing it to hang from the wires on that side where the switch is.
or B - I got a major piece of dirt/crap in the bowl of the carb. I did notice that the element in the reserve fuel filter somehow detached itself from the filter housing. I know there was some chunks of crap in there from before I replaced the petcocks last night that are no longer in there.
Either 1 is quite probable. Anyone else have any other suggestions worth looking into?
