It would be worth the drive to Springfield MO. You have Pitbull Powersports there. Their lead mech Chris is top notch.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

That's got to be about a 250 mile, one-way trip... :shocked:
But for good service; it might be worth it! :thumbup:

Sounds like water in the fuel.
Take the plastic off and get it running.
spray starting fluid around but, not in the carb. and see if that gives you any change.
You say the fuel is good, what does that mean?
Drain the fuel tank put 4oz of clear rubbing alcohol and fill it with fuel. then start it and see if it gets better

I'm going with a bad fuel filter or a clogged cat

Why don't we see if there are any active codes, before we start trying to diagnose the problem? :banghead:

Update to my Serious Problem post
Bike is running well now. Got it away from it's tormenter and it's home again. Paid big money to have some mods done by what I was told was a very fine local speed shop for motorcycles. This was a giant BS trip from beginning to end. Paid for a Power Commander installation and after market exhaust install. Only part that was done well was the exhaust. The breakdown and fun after appears to have been related to the Evap Purge Valve unit. After it was disconnected from power, engine started and ran fine. Reconnecting power had no bad effect, engine ran fine still.
Engine runs good. The Power Command V installed has no effect on performance so guessing the "speed shop" didn't know how to set tunes either. Lesson well learned by me.
Anyone know of a fix for this Evap Purge Valve situation--perhaps a means of deleting it entirely?
Many thanks to all for the fine advice----------problem got fixed after I relayed your information to our "speed shop" operator---------could not have solved without this forum!!!:yes:

No codes
Oddly after this forum showed us how to pull up codes none showed---------oddly when Evap Purge Valve was disconnected from power lead engine ran fine. Reconnecting the EPV had no effect--engine still ran fine-have no idea what happened. Think our speed shop operator got advice on the EPV from a Fenton Missouri shop manager---------home now.
