Hi. Help me diagnose an issue I am having with my 2005 VX1100 with 71 hours on it. It was working fine two weeks ago, but when we went out today it was missing pretty bad at idle. I can hear it missing through 5,000 RPM as well. It may be missing above that, but I cannot hear it.
It does seem to run perfectly at speed. I can still hit the same top speed of about 56 MPH and it sounds fine.
The only thing that I can think of is the gas I poured in last week after we were done was fouled. There is a fair chance it was from the bottom of the tank at the gas station because they had a few pumps shut off and marked out of order.
Does this sound like bad gas? Should I worry about it or drain the gas? In other words, can it hurt anything or should I just run it to almost out of gas and fill it up with better fuel.
Thanks for your insights.
