Author Message   Northernyankee Posted on Saturday, November 01, 2008 - 09:37 pm:        I was out at NJMP today and about 5 or 6 times when braking on the front straight if I tried to pass someone hard on the brakes(125 to 60) When I would roll on the throttle coming out of the turn I would lose power. I am guessing it is because I was starving for fuel? Anybody have any suggestions or maybe I am totally off base and something else is the cause.   No_rice Posted on Saturday, November 01, 2008 - 10:24 pm:        Anybody have any suggestions keep more fuel in it. really. the earlier xb's can do that if pushed really hard on the brakes when the fuel is getting down a bit. the newer ones were changed and i believe have baffles or foam in the bottom to keep the fuel from sloshing forward.   Spatten1 Posted on Saturday, November 01, 2008 - 11:54 pm:        No Rice is right. Keep more fuel in the tank. Happened to me many times before someone here helped me out. Acutally, I think the fuel pickup was moved on the newer fuel pumps.   Northernyankee Posted on Sunday, November 02, 2008 - 06:00 am:        Cool, I will try to keep it topped up...Thanks guys!!   Jdemoxb9r Posted on Sunday, November 02, 2008 - 06:46 pm:        wow im happy i clicked on this thread...that same thing happened to me the other day and scared me good lol
