I think the vent line is going to be the culprit on my bike as well. (see thread "Fule System Surgery"). I have the Pingle, and will install it this weekend although I can't ride for a while yet (see thread "Blew It"). I just walked by the bike and took a sip on the loose vent hose, as the tank has been off. It seems to only work one way - so I'll definitely be tracing it on down to see what's up.
I had been suspecting the vent line for the last few days as it had dawned on me that the two rides I had trouble on were extremely hot days. I had put a lot of miles on between the two occurences, at night or late evenings, with no trouble at all.
I don't know where you live, so I don't know what kind of weather you ride in - maybe it's not even related and just coincidental. It was easily over 90 both times for me.
I drained the tank and carb bowls and found nothing. The micro screen inline filter was also clear.
After removing the P-O-S stock petcock, it's easy to believe improved performance will result from the Pingle installation. Visually, there is no comparison. Glad I had an excuse to get one.
