Remember when I was stuck at the side of the road a few days ago? Well I thought that I had fixed the problem by removing the fuel filter and unking the fuel line.
I got on the freeway again and it ran @ 65 for about 2 miles before it started stumbling. You could feel these quick little jerks and with each jerk the bike drops a few MPH.
I pulled off at the next exit and the second I hit the clutch it died; no instrument lights, no blinkers, no nothing. It seemed the entire electrical system was dead. So I pulled over and let it sit for a few minutes. I gave it a few kicks and it started up. I took the back roads home. The bike works exactly fine at any speed under 65.
I have checked the petcock and it is flowing just fine. I have also tried to put it on prime and it doesn't change anything.
The only things that I have recently changed is installing a 32 tooth sprocket, an H4 headlight conversion, Mikes high output ignition coil, and new plug wires and caps.
There have been a few threads with people having similar symptoms but I don't see any solutions. Where do I start troubleshooting?
(also thanks a ton for all your help)
