so today i pull the bike out after changing the air filter, drive about a mile and the bike just loses power and slowly dies like i am out of gas try reserve and nothing dead. i get to the gas station but i am over half. start it up and the bike is fine, get another mile and the bike putters and dies slowly. i try the reserve and choke and the bike will start and barely run. now i am almost late to work so i get a ride home and get my truck. at work i am thinking about it and am thinking a fuel line or petcock clogged, but then i am thinking about me taking the gas tank off and have a idea. i leave work get to the bike pull the side cover off and.................

my overflow line is kinked and the tank is vapor locked. i straighten it out and it goes ppppsssssssssshhhhhh... (i know dee de dee)
