Drain the carb bowl into a glass container. Let the container sit a few mins and see if it has layers or bubbles. If it does it has water in the gas.

Seeing how i drained and cleaned the carb today (took it compleetley apart, problem was before and still after) It may be in the tank so i will check tomarrow. But the last time i filled up i filled up another bike too and had no problems with it. I'll let you know Thanks Jordan

My 1998 Is doing exactly the same thing. I have turn down the carb cleaned and soaked everything and it ran fine for a day the second day it was back to bogging out. I messed with the idle to solve the problem for the day. It also becomes harder to start the more I ride it throughout the day. I had to have the wife push start me several times.....Any ideas would be helpful. New probably the cooling fan is not coming on. I pulled the temp switch off and crossed the wires to simulate High temp and fan still did not start. Anyone know were to get a new fan at a decent price.

I cleaned my carb again and adjusted the air and it seem to be a little better, Now im waiting on the title so i can trade it in. I kind of dont want to for what they want to give but i want my 400. I like how reliable the mojave is and only hope the kfx/z is the same.

Ebay for the fan, i have seen a few go for cheap. Jordan

I bought a yfz450 fan from a local shop that sells used parts. made a few adjustments to the mounts and know I am back up and running. The next project will be the valves. Thanks again for the help.
