Idle / pilot circuit in the carb are clogged. The way to fix it properly is to remove the carburetor, dismantle it and clean it. You'll need Carb cleaner and an air compressor. This is typical due to dirt in the carburetor. Plenty of information on online forums for step by steps.
............ Using that switch lets you access that last little bit in the tank and it should be switched back to normal once you fill it up.
and the reason it takes so long to get the bike started is due to because it ran out of fuel and when you tryed to start it again it had to get the fuel from the tank all the way to the engine. It took me about 3-5mins to get the bike started. playing around with the switch a lot probs didnt help
Hey mate I own an ltz 400 (which is exactly the same bike just different with different brandings on it)
That little knob you are playing around with is the fuel supply switch. The switch allows you to change from main tank (top 90%ish of the tank) to axillary (bottem 10%).
It happened to me when I first started riding mine. The reason it stalls at high rev's / speeds is becasue the engine is trying to take in so much fuel and you probable have any empty tank...............continued
new cams,re-jet carb,chainge filter,change gas filter,and get sea foam for the jets to be cleaned u can get it at walmart.... use it if you dont feel like re-jetting the carb.
Valves, tires. fi you dont get it fixed you'll have to replace the whole top end. very expensive.

@calitvscreen that knob adjust the idle speed...your carb is more than likely stopping up..mine does that often because the carb gets gummed up...
