900rr 93' cant rev pass 3k rpm?!?
So today, I was riding to work. Everything was fine, had my miles reading 176, its close to put gas in....as I mad the corner to my work place, my engine starts to hesitate really bad...my rpm drops...I thought it was the gas out so I flicked the reserve...still hesitating and I thought it might need a little time. Luckly i was at my work place already.
I get off work and i tell my wife to bring me gas. She does, I check and I still have about 1/8 of gas left..I fill it up with gas and I turn on the motor...all is fine. I jump on and put it into gear. it works, I release the clutch and ride off...NOPE! the engine stalls and I press in the clutch. At idle, its fine. i can squeeze it off to 2.5k but anything more then that the engine starts to hesitate and its rpm drops and cuts out.
I pulled the bike into my work office and I took the tank apart and checked out all the vaccum hoses..all is fine...I dont know whats up with it. Could it be that the carb needs cleaning? When I took off the tank, I checked the air filter and carbs, it looks REALLY clean....anyone had this issue before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

I found the problem, well, sorta...I guess it was the carb gett'n stuck. It felt odd since I havent owned a carb car in a loooooooooong time that I forgot the symptoms of a carb going south. I put Sea Foam and mixed it half/half with gasoline, i injected it into the fuel line and sprayed some into the throttle body...it shot out white smoke for a good 2 minutes then BAM! everything is all good again.
Kool, I didnt want to take it to the $tealer, they wanted 560.00!!

its possible that when you ran low on fuel you pulled contaminates into the mains. Happened to me a while back, had **** in the bowls and when I went low on fuel my carbs sucked a peice in cause the bowls were the last thing that had fuel in them. Was fine at idle cuircuuit cause the mains weren't being used yet, but once I hit 2.5 or 3 the bike ran like ****. No one likes to pull the carbs but I would start there. Good luck
