so i was riding today and the bike started to act as though it was running out of gas. bogging. but has plenty of fuel in it.it does it when your quarter throttle or going to take off from a start . any thoughts? bad gas?clogged pilots? i thought of installing some inline filters on the fuel lines to the carbs. i was told the hawks like to pick up bad gas quite offen. any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Did you just fill up prior to this, maybe a vaccum issue with too much fuel in the tank?

 

i filled up the other day. but it was running good. i did rejett it but didnt have a problem till today. kinda odd.

 

i just went through the same thing and it was bad gas/water in the floats :-) fixed it right up

 

I was going to ask if you had the tank off recently and have encountered PVLIR

 

ha stupid reason but i figured it out. thanks for the advice.(vac on wrong on the petcock) my stupidity.

 

It strikes again! They need to label that stupid thing!

 

What exactly is that thing anyhow. Does it serve a purpose or is it a practical joke? If I had 10 bucks for everytime somebody stuck the vacuum on there, I'll bet I could buy a new CBR.

 

i hear that. and i still ended up doing it. mental note made for next time though. and as for what it does i think thats for it to let you know when the diaphram goes bad it starts to leek. not to positive though.

 

I thought it was a drain of some sort...

 

No, it's the diaphragm vent. You don't want a vacuum on the other side when the petcock is actuated open.
