Thanks for the welcomes! Took the bike out again yesterday. Started fine, ran smooth... until 12 miles out. Just before she shut off, it lost power and no response to the throttle (if that's bogging down?) Same as the time before. Waited 20 mins, couldn't restart it. Tried taking the gas cap off, starting in pri, no good. Air cleaner is good. No kinks in hoses, no disconnected hoses. New tank of 93 octane gas with seafoam. Tried waiting 20 min intervals and restart, NG wore down the battery. It did start once but shut off right away.
Ended up leaving the bike, walking home with battery. The real end of the story was the state trooper pounding on my door two hours after I had gone to sleep wanting to know why the bike was left there. aargh. Haven't pulled the spark plug yet. Don't know what to look at next. Do these bike shut off if overheating?
