I'll give you a list which is probably 90% complete. 1. You ran it out of 2 stroke oil. You wouldn't do that would you? 2. Your oil pump was improperly adjusted and did not feed sufficient oil to the carbs. 3. Your oil pump got air in the lines somehow (maybe you ran it out of oil once or disconnected the feed line or turned the bike upside down to lube the chain), if so, it needs to be bled. 4. Your vent tube on the oil reservoir is pinched or plugged. 5. You bought some cheap gas with methanol in it and then let the bike sit around for awhile. The alchohol separated from the gas and then combined with some moisture. This deadly mixture sank to the bottom of your gas tank and you ran on a bad cocktail for awhile. 6. You developed an air leak in your intake tract somewhere which caused the bike to lean out which made it overheat. 7. You tried running it WFO for two hours and it just couldn't take it. If your dealer can't pinpoint the problem, send me an exhaustive explanation of what everything looked like. George Tatge Fort Collins, CO ihnp4!hpfcla!tatge
