I was out at NJMP today and about 5 or 6 times when braking on the front straight if I tried to pass someone hard on the brakes(125 to 60) When I would roll on the throttle coming out of the turn I would lose power. I am guessing it is because I was starving for fuel? Anybody have any suggestions or maybe I am totally off base and something else is the cause.

Anybody have any suggestions

keep more fuel in it. really. the earlier xb's can do that if pushed really hard on the brakes when the fuel is getting down a bit. the newer ones were changed and i believe have baffles or foam in the bottom to keep the fuel from sloshing forward.

No Rice is right. Keep more fuel in the tank. Happened to me many times before someone here helped me out.

Acutally, I think the fuel pickup was moved on the newer fuel pumps.
