Chevy- That's what I was trying to avoid. The last thing I want to do now is to remove the tank but I guess I will if I have to. Thanks for the info.

jrpro130 Yeah, I think I'm going to!

Chevy, I'm probably just going to keep running fresh fuel through it. I can't even think about taking the carbs appart again!

If I'm not mistaken (per the manual), the fuel shut off is directly under the computer, under the seat. You'd have to remove it to see it.

Anyhow, It was sitting for about 6 months and my DUMBASS thought it would be a great idea to get a new battery and run it without siphoning the old fuel! Not so much!

BTW- The bike is STOCK. No snorkel... Yes I drained the bowls, I did not replace the jets, all cables are good and filter is clean and oiled.

Anyway- here is the current:

I've since taken the carbs over to Kawi (after removing and cleaning them 5 times on my own) and had them dipped and clean the jets with their jet cleaning tool.. I am still getting a little hesitation when I get on it hard but it seems to be getting much better ever since I replaced the Sea Foam mixed fuel with fresh fuel. I'm just going to keep running it with fresh fuel and see if it clears up.

I appreciate eveyone's help with this issue!

Now- on to the next one: I have a wabbeling wheel! I'm thinking it's a baring since the boots seem to be in good shape... Any suggestions?

jrpro130- I'm defiantly going to take you up on your offer. I'll PM you. Thanks man! jrpro130, is $4,000 a reasonable offer on this bike? It has 567 miles and 115hrs.

Thanks Swamper! I'll check that out.

So I have a 06 Brute Force V-Twin (carbureted) and I've run out of ideas for my bogging out issue.

I made the mistake of running old gas through the motor and now I'm dealing with a hesitation issue. I took the carbs apart (5 times) and cleaned the jets/carbs out. I even took it to Kawasaki and had them dip the carbs and cleaned out each jet with a special tool.

I siphoned out the old fuel, added a mix of new fuel (mid grade) along with Sea Foam fuel additive. I even poured Sea Foam into the carbs directly as directed on the bottle. I even installed an in-line fuel filter just in case there was some additional sediment left in the tank. I changed and gaped the spark plugs. I've since siphoned out the fuel with the Sea Foam mix and put in some new mid-grade fuel.
It's running now but when I throttle it all the way I get a really bad hesitation/bogging out response. I can't think of any other causes. It seems to be a fuel delivery issue. If anyone has suggestion, please let me know. Thanks!
