+1 on the filter. I lost fuel pressure when the clip that holds the filter in, either worked it way loose or never was installed properly, came loose bypassing fuel back into the tank and lowering the pressure causing the bike to misfire, etc. You have to be able to access mechanical parts to service them, they do wear out over time.
