Re: higher speed "stall"

Quote:
An 07 with that low mileage has been parked a lot. Maybe some little creature set up house keeping in the air filter. Pull the filter out and check it inside and out.
it probably was parked before I bought it with 400 miles and and there are quite a few possible critters in my garage. i will pull the air filter and check

Could be electrical but that's probably a last resort.

i hope not..

More likely that something is restricted, either fuel, air or exhaust.

it feels as if something is restricted, low speed and mid speed performance is not affected

If you haven't done it since you got it, drain ALL (as much as possible) of the fuel out of the tank and float bowl and put in fresh gas with some carb cleaner.


i have run at least 3 tanks of gas through it in the past 600 miles of riding. i did buy some berrymans b-12 chemtool today and put two oz in the tank. just went for a ride and it was scaring the hell out of me at 50-55 again. does not seem to be related to rpms, in lower gear I can rev it up without the sudden loss of power

Could also be a plugged gas cap vent causing a suction in the tank.


Where is the gas cap vent ? I pulled over and popped the cap off tonight when it happened but there did not seem to be suction.

I'm guessing you will probably need a dealer visit. Don't suppose you are the first owner and it's still under warranty ????

No, I bought it used, the nearest suzuki dealer is 70 miles away. I plan on pulling the air filter, then the spark plug, check the gas cap vent ? then ?? Thank you for your helpful suggestions.
