Title: Runs out of gas at 6000 rpm
Post by: Rossa on Sunday, 23 July 2017, 03:34 AM
Acceleration hits a brick wall at 6-7000 rpm when riding.  Revs freely in neutral.
Any ideas?
Does it with and without power commander. 
Fuel pump checked, tank cleaned, filters changed.
Plugs changed, coils ok.

Blocked high pressure fuel filter.

^^ That.

Had it twice on mine now, I seem to block them every 50k or so. The filter is about £150 from Robinsons & easy to fit. Just smear the O-rings with rubber grease or you can crack the new filter fitting it & you really don't want to do that.

A better way to go & cheaper is an external filter ... http://gsx1400owners.org/forum_test/index.php?topic=590.0

Do you have this with your fuel tank full or with two or less boxes on clock..?

If you're sure it isn't the fuel pump or air filter I would start looking at exhaust system.
