I have always used 87 but then they have increased ethy-not that a great aroma either.

My 05 does the same thing if I put 87 in it. It just blatently won't run on it because of the 10% ethenol. I recommend 91 octane. If you have a Savage-S-40 that won't run on 87 octane, you have a serious problem. But all IMO.

I've run my '02 on stale 2 stroke fuel a few times just to use it up. Dumped 1/2 a gallon in with 1 gallon of 87 octane. Can't say the bike liked it but it burned it smelling like a out of tune chainsaw. Maybe I'll try diesel next time. Try running the bike with the petc0ck in prime, if that's not it check the gas cap, it has a vent in it somewhere that can get plugged up and cause a vapor lock.

thank you for your ideas. I went through and pulled the petcock out checked for blockage and replaced it. Going to order a raptor one just to make life easier. Pulled the carb off, checked the float bowl and everything looked good. Went for a ride after everything was back together and it ran fine. So i think the bike just wanted some attention.
Thanks again

It took me longer to find a screw in my junk box for the carb vacumn line than it did to swap the petc0ck out.
