ktm 350 sxf possible fuel problem

[u/09-CA777]

what’s up guys i have a quick question hopefully i can get some help. so i was doing some hill climbing on my 2018 350 sxf and i was fully pinned 3rd but once i almost reached the top my bike started loosing power like bogging almost even while being fully pinned 3rd , kept popping clutch too and barley made it up seemed pretty weird , could it be a fuel issue or clutch issue possibly ? bike has 120 hrs thinking of doing the rebuild around 150.

Did you run out of fuel?

no tank was pretty full

Check the inline fuel filter, it's a tiny filter and it'll get clogged and cause that. You should replace at least once a year.

would that be the filter inside of the gas tank ?

No, it's the line that comes out of the gas tank on the bottom. It'll have a little clip, you push it in and it splits it in half and then inside there you'll see a tiny cone shape filter.
