Description of the problem	I had just got on i65 heading south. I went maybe 2 miles, and all of the sudden, my motorcycle acted like it had just ran out of gas. Or somebody had hit the kill switch. I know it had gas. As it was winding down in revolutions, i tried everything with throttle, kill switch, ignition switch. When i finally stopped, i tried starting it, nothing. It acted like i had no gas. I opened the tank and rocked the bike a little, and i had at least a half a tank like my gauge read. After getting it home i punched my vin number in to he's recall page, and there was a recall for the fuel filter enclosure. I purchased another enclosure and put it back together. Still nothing. I checked fire and the plugs lit on fire. So i sprayed either into throat of carburetor, and it started for a second and died. I have taken it to the dealer and they say one of the gaskets was not seating correctly on the fuel pressure regulator.
