I am second owner, it has 600 miles.
My bike would just shut off after about 30 minutes of riding. generally it would restart after 15 minutes or more wait. But after six or so events of this it would not restart at all even after hours of waiting.
On suggestion of Hall's cycle I replaced the fuel pump. They reasoned it may have run out of fuel and overheated by previous owner... most likely intermittent cause of symptom. somewhat common problem.
I replaced the pump and had I Had same problem about 30 minutes later.
I did not order or replace the fuel filter at that time as plenty of fuel would flow out of barb to fuel injector, (as if no restriction at all.) I could easily blow air through filter by mouth etc...
It would start on starting fluid.
I then replaced the filter with a generic auto parts filter in desperation. Now the bike runs fine all day.
Very odd that a filter which passes decent flow under simple gravity drain, far in excess of what the fuel system could ever consume, would disable the bike after running until warmed up.
Lesson Learned. REPLACE FUEL FILTER FIRST EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK IT NEEDS IT.
