Hello gang, I am recently a proud owner of a 2001 Suzuki Savage that I got for a great deal and this forum has been a huge help so far. Been trying to ride everyday but I am currently running into some issues that I hope you all can help with!

The first few weeks of owning the bike it ran great. Then after that there began issues with it not starting up and dying mid ride as well as a fuel leak. I ended up going in and fixing the main culprits by changing the petcock to the Raptor, fixing the speedometer rattle (now the headlight is rattling lol), changed the spark plugs and new filter and oil change thanks to all the information provided here. Appreciate yall!

Recently after the repairs though, I've been having issues with the bike still continually cutting out while riding. So far I've had about 3-4 incidents within the past week of the bike just cutting out mid ride. No sputter sounds or anything just cuts out. Its happened at random speeds as well. Half the time it has started right up after but recently the bike will have power (lights turn on) and will just crank. I will leave it for about 30 min and then it will power up again but will intermittently cut off mid ride again.

Do you all have any idea what could be the cause of this? The only thing I haven't done is going in and cleaning the carbs out. I will work on that this weekend but it seems like all power is just lost randomly. Any help would be appreciated!

Pic added just because

Appreciate the reply @thumperpaul . When i installed the new pet thingy i didn't clean the tank. I did just got some sea foam today that I plan to run through it this weekend. Is that a good process for the clean or should i go the vinegar soak route?

The issue happens at all levels of fuel. I've seen the reserve help on some start ups but not always. When i changed the fuel line i just used the original line which i believe has the inline fuel filter in it. Just got a new 8mm fuel line and dropped it in today. So far no issues. Ill probably run some seafoam this weekend and see if that omits the issue. I have a feeling it may be fuel starved as well. I been meaning to take the carb out for a cleaning soon so that will be next. Any tips there would be great!

Appreciate you!

It sounds like it could be electrical to me.  It sounds like it's losing spark due to heat or a bad connection.  Maybe a bad coil or rectifier, or an intermittent issue with a ground or related to a safety switch.
