did you run it all the way out of gas prior to this fill up? might have some "gunk" in your carburator, that might or might not work itself out, maybe some fuel additive to help clean it would help? or sometimes substandard gas will make it act badly....good luck, or maybe its vapor-locking? filled it too full? my 03 does that sometimes when I fill it too full

I think the filter is part of the tank. I'd try and run some fuel additive through it and see if that help. Then have a look at the carb.

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?
