MunchAfter 5oo+ miles on my bike I got gas near my work, halfway down the highway she shut down on me…. after safely managing a 2 lane merge to the shoulder under no power I tried to fire her back up…nothing…. kept trying then she sputtered to an idle… open throttle a bit…choked out. Opened the choke thinkin maybe I managed to flood it somehow in cranking…. thing went wide open, after quick shut down did the same thing but this time experimented with the throttle, which choked it down for a second or two then went wide open…. pushed down to half choke and started running better,,,,,,eventually got to where she ran normal for the rest of the tank. 2nd fill up at same gas station ….. new symptom…… through each gear she would buck and kick …grrrrr luckily I was at 500 mile mark and needed to get check up done…. also lucky I paid for the maintenance program.
Conclusion…. gas station had mixed diesel by accident with their regular, which is really odd since they don’t sell diesel.
You can try using a product called Sea Foam to help stabilize and clean some of the gas up in the tank already especially since she is idling. Or drain and use Sea Foam or similar product to do some non invasive and probly needed help anyways.
