So I parked my 95 F3 about a week ago and some jackass backed up into it from the left side, and pushed it over on the right side. They picked it up and didn't leave any insurance info or a note.... screw em. Anyway, like i said, a week has gone by, and nothing unusual had happened until today. I've ridden it every day, and I was on it today, it started up fine. Rode it to class, came back and was riding it home when all of a sudden i was losing power before 4000 rpm. It sounded like i wasn't running on all cylinders. If i gave it any more throttle than to stay at the same speed, it would die out, but if i let the throttle back it sat back at idle. I went a few more hundred yards trying to limp home when it completely shut down while i was trying to accelerate I started it up again but it was obvious it didn't want to stay running. It died again and i managed to start it with choke and get it home. Anyway, thats where I'm at now. any help would be great. Thanks guys

As dumb as this may sound it sounds like you ran out of gas. Id start by checking fuel supply and delivery?

 

my bike kinda did the same thing.. It turned out to be the fuel pump. will not really the fuel pump it self. There is a fuel cut off switch that runs the fuel pump it may have gone bad or you may want to check the control modual. check the fuel pump to see if it is pumping by starting it and fell the pump to see if you can feel a vibration every second or so. if you cant feel anything it is probably something to do with that. trace the wires and make sure the conections are still good. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

ya man make sure your not running on ur reserve the whole time so when it dioes that you can change it and have an extra 25 mil. i make thsat mistake all the time i actually ran out of gas in a wheelie and thought i ****ed my **** up i brought it hoemtook it apart then found out i was out of gas lol.
