Hello all, New to forums. This subject may already be on these forums somewhere but I couldn't find it... I have a 98 FZR600R (3HE) 16k miles I got about 3 months ago. I went riding today and all of a sudden it started to "bog" out when I gave it throttle I pulled into a gas station and checked the fuel, there was about 1/4 a tank in there but I decided to fill it up anyway (93 Octane always), headed out and as soon as I gave it more than 1/4 throttle twist it did it again and throughout every other gear I tried. I know a bunch of you are thinking carbs... cleaned already, I have ran Seafoam directly into it, let it sit for about 15 minutes then burned it all out, put 1/4 a bottle in the tank, new fuel filter, no leaks or cracks in the boots or anything I can find wrong... anyone have any experience with this or any thoughts on what it might be? Thanks -Thomas.

*Just finished putting in new plugs thinking it may have been a fouled plug, but no difference.

Do you here your fuel pump prime when you turn the key?

Yes, but if I Just had it running or turned on then off and back on without any real time between then I hear almost like a click noise... it will idle all day long and I can rev it but when it gets to around 4-5k rpm's that's when it bogs or sounds almost like its flooding itself out.

I uploaded this video to possibly help with diagnosis

Check your battery connections. Also, drain the bowls of your carbs to see if there is any junk in the fuel. I had a very similar problem and that was it.
