That is exactly what we had on the 650. 60-65 MPH: no problem. Go faster and the bike dies. Rather suddenly on our bike, just enough time to hobble to the side of the freeway. After having taken out that inline fuel filter I rode it over an hour at 70+ MPH without a problem. Well, with one exception. We were getting the daughter back to the college, wife and her in the car following me on her bike. Bike dies shortly after hitting the freeway. Damn!! - I thought, taking out the fuel filter had not fixed the problem! Until I realized the fuel shutoff valve was turned off. Bloody beginners! The ladies in the car got a good laugh out of that one. Holger -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
