Like it has a constant sound at 5,000 rpms, then the pitch would lower first, then a little after the RPMS started lowering. The engine literally changed sound. And when I tried to rev the engine back up it would sound sort of strained, it's really weird. Here's a video of how it reacted right after it died, and I would try to start it back up without the choke on:

It's been awhile since I've posted on here, and I'm not sure how forum rules work, but I don't want to tick anyone off for putting this up top.

I ended up taking it to the dealership, and it turns out when the previous owner removed the gas tank for some reason, crimped the fuel lines when they put it back on. So the bike wasn't receiving enough fuel, and the fuel wasn't being displaced either. Quick fix, then I put some Dunlop Q2 tires on her, and they've been great thus far.

Ran into another problem the other day, but I've noticed that if I move forward a little in first gear and pull in the clutch, my rpms will drop past 1000 for a second and raise back up. Same thing if I rev the engine. Does that indicate a problem with the bike, or is that something normal?

I bought some leds from Joe Florida last week, they should be in today, so after this weekend they'll be on the bike and I'll upload a vid. I'm debating whether I should wait till I have new fairings (thinking of going through the vendor from here) to put it on or just go ahead with it. For those who have put on LED kits and had to switch fairings later, have you ran across problems with changing them out?

 

Ekelman - you going to run the track there at Millville? On my list of tracks to try with my F3.

 

So my LEDs came in last week, and I spent a few hours on Saturday working them on, and here is the final product:
