The other day, I took my new to me 1996 650 savage for a ride. This bike had been sitting up for about 2 years before I bought it. I had the carb cleaned out and refitted with a few new parts that were shot in it. I sloshed the tank around, and have since run about 3 tanks of gas through it. The other day when on my ride, I ran it out of gas, and had to switch to the reserve setting. After I got to a station, and filled up, the bike ran fine for the rest of the ride there, but on the way home, the bike started cutting out on me while on the highway going about 70 mph. Dying while I was riding it. I got on it this morning, and the bike runs fine until you get to about 60 to 65 mph, then that is when it starts cutting out and dying, almost like no gas is getting to it. It only cuts out at high speeds though. What do you think it is? Could I have picked up something out of the tank when I ran it so low?
I bought an in-line fuel filter to put on it to see if that will help, or catch any crap and crud that might be in the tank. At least I can see if there is something in it. I also planned on draining the bowl today to see if there is anything in there.
Please let me know if you have any suggestins.
Thanks,
Emerson
