I had help doing it. don't really know what all needs to be checked in their

Ever notice you are less likely to use the front brake when the rear locks up?

That's because you're more focused on NOT dumping the bike than you are on actually braking correctly!

that's why, when this happens, you need to totally release the rear brake, let the bike settle, and apply the front instead
Of course, that's near impossible if you're approaching an obstacle at seat-mohawk inducing speed

don't really know what all needs to be checked in their

Pilot jet, main jet, needle / seat, and the screen at the fuel inlet for the carb
Plus, just fir gits and shiggles, the accelerator pump passage

Now that is odd
if it was a carb problem I would expect it to act up when running on reserve, too
I'm stumped
as far as pics of the jets to clean and such, for some reason I can't access photobucket with my PC running through my Cell Data, so i couldn't post pics if I had them
I'm sure Versy or someone can, and will, when they see the request for photos Embarrassed

it is very odd to me as well. I work on car on the side. and I may not be the guru of motorcycle repair but I have a fair bit of know how with checking diagnostics and cleaning gunk outa where it shouldn't be.

I am stumped from here. the only thing I can think of to do is put some seafoam/ ethanol free gas with my buddys race engine combustion camber cleaner through it an see how it goes.

If the bike runs well on RES - but not in the ON position....then there is something wrong with the petcock. Your carb and engine really shouldn't be able to tell the difference between those two settings if the petcock is working properly and it flows enough fuel in both positions.

If the bike is running well in the RES position, and you switch to ON....how long does it take for the bad running symptoms to appear?

I went as far as blowing compressed air through it to check. I rode it for about 5 miles. It runs fine on the res position
