Hey guys I just bought a 2003 shadow spirit 750 about a week ago. I have been riding it since every day and is been riding perfectly then all the sudden today im riding and the bike started to stall as if i was running out of gas but checked to make sure had plenty of gas and i still filled up to reasure and it continued doin it. when ever i switched to reserve it runs good when i swit it back it run for a lil bit and then does the same thing if i pull the throtlle and give it a lot of gas it back fires pretty loudly and the throttle is been kinda sticky all day also... i know this is pretty lengthy is my first bike and im kinda clueless of what it could be.  I hope i can get some help here and i thank you in advance for it.

Sounds like the fuel intake on the main is plugged.

I'd have thought of water in the tank, but, the water would have been picked up on the reserve since water is heavier, and would have settled there, so that's not it.

Since it clears up on reserve (which most people use rarely), it says simple obstruction on the main feed.

Nice bike.
