Default Bad Gas???

Hello all. Just got the bike back together after re-soldering the starter box ground wire (notorious bull**** with the f4i's). took her out for a spin and it seemed like she lurched during little throttle. I looked down and noticed i needed gas so i put 5 bucks in her and it seemed to have went away. any ideas???

I never believe that bad gas is the issue. That was either a placebo for a problem that really didn't exist, or there is an intermittent problem would be my guess.....

I officially feel like a noob. Bike was running like crappy again. Come to find out the battery cables were loose. Man do I feel dumb. I do have to say shell gas is awesome though

I'm pretty sure gas is gas for 90% of applications. This is a heavily debated topic mind you and everyone has an opinion. But glad you shell gas is working for you and that you found your battery cable problem!
