Need some help.Whats wrong here?
When the bike is warmed up it doesnt do it. If it sits for a day when I go to start it Itll turn over for a second and then clunk. Then it wont turn over at all. Then it fires right up a second later. Sometimes it takes longer than others. The battery seems to have charge, but it acts like its dead sometimes if that makes any sense.

I'd be willing to guess it's a loose connection somewhere, either on the battery or a corroded connection in the wiring harness.

Depends on how bad the leak is. Pull the vacuum line off the FPR if its wet, that is most likely your problem.
The vacuum line from the FPR goes to the intake manifold. No matter where the engine is sitting (rotation) one or two intake valves will be open, and on a 600cc engine, the cyclinders are tiny and doesn't take a whole lot of gas to hydrolock that cylinder.
My bike had the exact same symptom, that and it smelled rich when idling and got like 28 mpg.
My money is on the FPR, when you order it, it does come with the O-ring.
