The bike acts like it runs out of gas at anytime. I switch it to reserve, enrich the fuel and restart and switch back to on. May ride 5 or up to 80 miles and it could do it again. any help appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like trash in carbs and jets. Did it have a long winter in Iowa? Remove the float bowls and clean it out.

While you're at it drain the gas tank, too. There may be trash in there as well.
