Just checking for ideas here but:

Got my bike back from the paint shop yesterday. I was pulling out into the road and it died. I rolled it back over and we checked the fuel cutoff under the tank. We noticed a vaccum line off and reattached it. Without this it would not allow fuel out of the lines. It started up and idled perfect after that but about 8 miles later on the way home it started to sputter. If I give her full throttle it clears up slowly. The only thing that I can think of is a vaccum line or something that could be clogged.

I would take it back to the body shop but if it is simple I would rather do it myself. I do not have much faith in there ability to diagnose mechanical issues.

What do you think?? It would have to be something around the tank or fairings that they took off.....

 

to where did you reattach it??? common mistake is to look under tank and see the hose attachment stem pointing straight down or perpendicular to the tank bottom. This is not the correct attachment point for the vacuum line that travels along the left side with the left side fuel line. the correct connect point is difficult to see and is located on the left side of the petcock parallel to the tank bootom.

thanks, Nathan

 

Yep as Nathan said, PLVIR is the most likely issue.

To clarify: the nipple on the bottom of the petcock should have nothing connected to it... The vacuum line actually goes to the one on the back.

 

AHA, I will look closer tonight.

Thanks for your help guys.

 

Make sure the tank is venting properly as well. Did the shop tape or plug a vent line maybe?
