i just installed a new set of pipes on my 2007 v-star 1100 classic. i took it down the road to hear the new sound, and am having a fuel starvation problem all of a sudden. when i cruise around 50mph in 5th gear with the petcock in the on position, the bike starts to stutter, and then the motor dies completely. i switched the petcock to the reserve position, and tried the same speed and gear, and it no longer does it. the fuel level in the tank is about 3/4 full. i have not jetted the carbs, and there are no other modifications to the engine besides the pipes, also the bike only has 290 miles on it. any suggestions? i plan to contact the dealer on monday, but am a little worried that they will tell me the warranty is void because of the pipes being installed. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
