I just bought a 99 savage 650 from a guy who had it sitting for over a year in his garage. when i picked it up he said everything was fine it just may need an oil change, he said he had put carb cleaner in the tank. it ran well until i filled it up with gasoline. i used 89 octane unleaded (which shouldn't matter). now when i start it up it runs for a little while then starts to backfire and die when i give it gas. if i run it on reserve it doesn't do this, i don't know if its because it is still running off the old gas or if its a problem with the valve or the carb. any suggestions? thanks.
*update, keeping the bike on reserve actually does NOT remedy the problem, the only way to keep the bike running is to leave the fuel valve on PRI
