97 GSX-R 600 after driving for even a minute above 80 kmph the bike wants to die. It sputters and if I pull in the clutch it dies completely. If I turn my key off and on again ( to make the fuel pump go more ) it seems to be a bit better for a few more seconds. I have had rust in the tank in the past.....would this be causing this problem? I also took my fuel petcock apart and it generally looks ok but probably could use replacing. How does the petcock work.....Vacuum? http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wait.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Had the same problem clean the tank and replace the filters or clean them out that should resolve your problem.
