Bad gas?

Check the ignition points. They might be worn out. But my money's on the distributor cap.

I don't know much about mechanics but I didn't think there were points or distributor caps with electronic ignitions.....

Its not Electronics Ignition...Its Ignition Points...Where the Spark Plug wire plugs into the Cap...There is a Metal Contact point.

honestly, i put the better stuff-91-in the bike cuz it seriously like a 40cent difference in total price. even tho the bike calls for 90, i doubt id notice a dif if i ran 87.

i wonder if i get it tuned, if i could find more power with 87 than 91

cars gets cheap stuff, racebike gets 110-114

So a little update...

I talked with my mechanic about what happened. Seeing he has more in-site to my situation, his explaination makes sense.

I don't have covered parking at my place, the bike came with a cover - but it's a cheap one more for dirt, not rain/weather. We've had some heavy rains here lately. My mechanic said the gas cap doesn't have a seal and I probably had some water get in the gas tank.

I got an all-weather cover for my bike for Christmas, so hopefully it won't happen again.

Thank you again for all your feedback.
