Thanks for all the help guys!
I will have to check the alternator/regulator, thaks for the tip on that.
OK, I doubt vapor lock as I wasn't having any overheating issues and the fans do cycle, yet the symptoms are near identical. I will check the coolant and such anyway of course!
Vacume lines could use a check... I recently had a grounding issue when I purchased the bike, it would always require a jump to get going, but would eventually drain the battery when shut down. Collins Cycle (great guy) looked at it and diagnosed faulty ground(s?) and bum battery. Both were addressed and seemed to solve the problem back then. Basically, a 6000 mile service was performed then and the bike had ~4750 on the clock.
On a similar note, the fuel petcock is a mess... It doesn't like to turn (fairing interference), and the 2 labled flanges on the side of the lever are broken off. Not to mention it's not even close to lining up with the "arrow". Studying the valve itself, i'm 95% certain I have it in the "on" position. Which way is "off" and "reserve"?
I've never really understood why you can switch between the on and reserve when you have a fuel light!
Thanks for all the help... I can see myself visiting here daily, along with "Rennlist" and "VW Vortex"... good thing the boss is cool!
