I'm hundred percent stock and I regularly get 116 before my light comes on (.9 gal left) while playing on back roads.

Looks like my after market. I know I got it on line but that was 8 years ago so can't tell you the site. It's sturdy and pretty scratch resistant.

I've got one off an 01, same condition, needs lining. Yours for shipping costs from Minnesota.

Well I feel a little better about the the lose screw as its not unheard of. It is the one holding the main nozzle you mentioned in your first reply. I misspoke calling it the main jet. I can't vouch for if I tightened it before or after the jet block screws the last time I cleaned them but I...

Well I finally got my issues (ok my bikes issues) sorted out. I'll not labor through all the things I checked other than to say I checked everything you all suggested. Thanks for your input. I've learned this lesson before and I had to learn it again, if it's not running right start with the...

Hey 99 thanks for the clarification. I've got an 01 so I'm already upgraded but that doesn't mean I don't need to check its ground. I'll identify its ground wire on the schematic and check resistance between it and the frame and battery negative.

Thanks guys, good points. It's been awhile since I cleaned ground connections. I was aware of the first two Fire- medic called out but don't know what you mean by the R/R by the foot peg (and I'm not near the bike to go look) but I assume I must have dealt with it when I replaced the gas tank...

Plugs have been replaced but probably due as the electrode edges are no longer knife sharp. The caps are original. I've not replaced them since they ohm out in spec, don't have cracks and don't seem to be leaking (no change in how engine runs when they are misted with water). New ones would...

Thanks Fire for the ideas. I know first hand of old tanks. I replaced my tank and fuel filter last year or the year before. Bottom of the tank was rusty. No ethanol for me unless I have no choice. I've had rough running in the past and a thorough carb cleaning fixed it. I've never had it run...

I'm a returning member who has been gone for some time. I've been trying to sort out running problems on my higher mile (66000 mile) stock 2001 and I THINK it's ignition related. I'm looking for some sage advice here. The bike was running reasonably well on a ride though it seemed to run a...
