Vapor lock?
Bike was running alitte funny after riding for a short time would seem to run out of gas (had plenty of gas) so i would pull over turn to reserve and try again.
But it would do the same thing well i said in an earlier post that my tank would build up air pressure in tank and i would have to unscrew gas cap to let the air out.
So i thought maybe the build up of air was keeping bike from getting gas....
Anyway took rubber seals of my gas caps and tightened them down and noticed that air pressure never got built up in tank and my bike never acted up again for the rest of the day...
anyone think i might of fixed it or have heard of this before....

Hmm not sure then i am abit stumped which aint hard to do though lol.
Ran great after i took those rubber seals out hopefully it wasent just a fluke.
I had allready changed the ignition as it was corroded pretty good. And got new plugs and wires and bought a new battery. So i guess next time i ride if it does it again i'll get a new solenoid.
