Just another thought. Running the tank dry on reserve can drag sh-t into the carb from the bottom of the tank and plug a jet. Had it happen a few times. Usually on older bikes though.

Well they called me back and the problem is that the inside of the fuel tank the lining is being peeled off which is clogging my lines and the carb the reason for it to stall. He says hes pulling ALOT of it off because someone sprayed **** into my tank of some sort. Probably my bike got vandilized during the middle of the night. Least I got the ignition module and stator free of charge lol

I'd think twice on doing something irrational like what you're stating. Remember, there's only one letter between "anger and danger".

Has to be labor.. Idk how they got all that crap out of the tank.. And it might be some crap in there left that might cause the cycle to stall again anytime. Afraid to even ride it now. He saved the lining from the inside of the tank and put it in a ziplock bag to show me how much was in there. And another thing im gonna gripe about is that they were rude to me when they called me to say what the problem was. This is my very very last trip to that dealership I'll never step foot on that property again.
