Having a little trouble today.Went for a cruise today everything fine, stop to refuel drive off let the bike sit for about 1/2 hour go for another cruise 15 min in the bike starts stumbling and losing lots of power. pull over it stalls get it started again running rough but clears up , decide to go back home starts to do same thing again , now at home and it wont start .Think it might be bad gas, so i drain tank and put in new gas and water remover. still not starting any ideas? or will it take a while to crank to get rid of old gas out of floats.
thanks

You've probably got a sticking float... Try tapping on the float bowls with the handle of a screwdriver and try again.

I've never tried this before, but a gentle shot of compressed air (10-15PSI) down the fuel line would probably pop open a stuck float, just don't use a lot of pressure or you may damage O-Rings or the floats. Make sure the petcock is open though, and wear eye protection
