I have a 97 F650ST with only 3,000 miles. I took the carburetor apart to clean it. The previous owner never serviced the foam air filter and I discovered that it had mostly disintegrated.
The bike would randomly just die at idle. I wanted to make sure the carburetor did not have any pieces of foam in it.
It also had an electrical connector short which was causing some additional problems. That seems to be fixed.
I currently have the bike running fine at idle (never dies), it accelarates very well and smoothly, runs smooth at 5,000 RPM and above.
However, around 4,000 RPM and 40 MPH (I think that is in 3rd gear) the engine will cut out like it is not getting fuel. Basically, somewhere in the mid-range it does not run well.
Any ideas if this is a carburetor adjustment or something else? (I did not have this problem before I took the carburetors apart)
