Okay Rick...three tanks in a row now that are hitting the 140-145 mile mark before the yellow light comes on.

I'd have to say your winter gas theory holds a bit of weight.


Here's something for you to chew on. Why is it, when I let it idle for a few minutes, and the engine is cold. When I start to take off, it acts like an old muscle car with carbs loaded up?

I don't know how to explain that any better. (We all know I don't have carbs....) It acts like a car with loaded up carbs...If I blow it out, it's fine..then when the bike is hot...no problems....

Spark plug problem? Plug rated too hot? Or too cold?
