Today I rode the 'Hawk for maybe 20 mins, with three different starting instances. Didn't notice anything amiss until I was headed home, she wouldn't rev worth a crap under 4k, and it was rapidly deteriorating. I finally had to pull into the turning lane and off onto a side road, where the bike just died. I didn't notice any lighting or gauge problems, so I shut the ignition off and back on, and rode it home just fine.

I did the carb-washer mod last night, but I'm pretty sure I got all the lines hooked up right. Is my R/R going out? I did some searching but I'm still not sure what the problem is/could be.

Any help is appreciated.

 

Sure sounds electrical to me. I'd pull out a Mulitmeter and start diagnosing before I started the bike again. Hopefully it's just the battery making it's way to the great beyond.

 

Sounds more fuel related to me since it started back up fine without a jump would suggest the battery is ok. could be other electrical like the tps sensor plug loose though. check the voltage at rest and while running (do a search for the values you should see at what RPMs)
