I have been told that over filling your Drifter 800 gas tank will cause this problem. I always leave an air gap below the filler neck when I fill up. Have never experienced a problem similar to yours. I do not think the Drifter 800 has a fuel filter.

Mine is a 2006 800 also, and it does the same thing, especially at speeds above 80. I have been told that it has something to do with the gas tank vent and I know the vent makes noise because it is not as open as it should be. I have not found a filter for the gas but plan on adding one.

Help!. I have a 2006 vn800 drifter and love it!. Only has 12k miles. Suddenly this week on the freeway, it acted like I ran out of gas. I pulled over , but it started again. Went a bit farther and did it again. My tank is full. it seems like it is being starved for gas and actually runs out...but if i pull over it starts again?,,,,Are there fuel filters on this bike? ???
