I filled up2 days agoand a mile down the road the bike started to cut out. I pulled over and it idled fine, so I started again and it cut out like it was not getting fuel. I putted home and read some post on the net and someone stated if overfilled, a Cali bike would spill into the charcoal canister and prevent the bike from venting the fuel tank properly. So I got back on it a rode 25 miles and it did it again, but only briefly. Then I rode 50 mile without an issue and figured it was just the topping off, but today coming into work I had the same issue. Any ideas?[:@]

 

well have you filled up at that same station before, maybe bad gas???

you use highest octane you could get???

umm... yeah i guess thats all i got

 

Used the station before without issue and pumped 91 into it. drain it tonight.

 

Battery cables tight (happened to me)?

Faulty clips on Fuel Pack (also happened to me)?

Those problems caused your symptoms on separate occasions on my bike.

Hope that helps.

 

I did notice that the speedo dropped at the same time, I'll check the connections. Thanks It makes sense, I had to tighten up my exhaust yesterday.

 

it's battery if speedo dropped.

The connections were not really loose, but not snug either. They are tight now, I'll let you know.

 

I have been having a problem with the gas also, I have been using the high price spread also until a Biker dude at one of the gas station in the mountains told me not to get the high grade because with the gas prices up to $4 a gallon, nobody is buying the gas, use the middle grade, I did, and about 10 miles down the pa pike it smooth it self out.
My son -in -law told me to put three cap fulls of STP gas treatment in. That worked better. I must have had a lot of junk in the tank.

 

I am also starting to wonder also if less and less people are using premium if the gas tanks aren't developing condensation or the gas is going stale in the ground tanks. It's also that time of the year that refineries are changing the blends to a summer friendly mix.
