Bike acting wierd
FuriouSly:
Low fuel in tank, not enough getting in the bowl. Sediment on the filter inside the tank restricting flow at high usage ( WOT ). If this happened at the end of a ride going pretty much straight and you are low on fuel, lean the bike to the left side and get some fuel over to the petcock side of the tank and cruise back to the gas cans...
The KX5 does drink fuel fast I have noticed... :x

I dont have a KX5 ^^
Also I think I figured out what it was, I rigged up a switch that I mounted behind the side tank shroud by the kick starter so i can turn the spark on or off (So if i get pulled over in the dunes I can act like it wont start) well the epoxy broke off and it was just sitting there, didnt think anything about it but today i started my bike up revved it a couple of times and it straight up died again, I was like great it just siezed, wouldnt start for like 5 kicks then I moved the switch away from the metal and it started first kick So I think it was the switch grounding out on the frame, So I wrapped it about 50 times with electric tape and remounted it with epoxy and zip ties :D
Stupid Mistake on my part thanks for raking your guys brains tho Hey at least I dont have to ask this if it happens again.
