Today was a Christmas Eve in South Florida when you can go to the beach and get a tan and sweat, about 82 deg I'd say.
I however was tooling around on the Monster doing some last minute gift purchases. I had been riding for about 1 hr. I caught the bridge for about 5 minutes then rode for another 5 minutes and made a stop. Then about 10 minutes later headed out to follow my Dad to get gas because he was on fumes, well he ran out about a 1/4 mile from the house(haha).
I turned around went home and got the gas can that had gas in it (why he didn't already put it in his bike I don't know), I left the bike running for 5 minutes while searching the shed and garage for the can. I hopped back on and took him the gas. After he filled up and we came to a stop sign my Monster studdered and lost power, it was still running, but did not have enough power to move away, then it died and was very hot. It would not restart. I pushed it off the road took the seat off and proped up the tank to get some more airflow, 15 minutes later it cooled enough to fire, and I headed down the road without further incident.
I checked the oil, it was fine. Nothing is blocking flow to the motor. I did notice the vertical cylinder was hotter then the lower. I think it is kind of running a little funny now, but that
