Did you use fuel with ethanol in it, by chance? Also, do you have Smartcraft gauges--and if so, did you get any sort of alarm?

The lift pump on the V-rod is pretty sensitive, and I remember it causing me a few issues when I first got my boat new in 2007. There was a fuel-related problem (with the tank, as it turned out), and the lift pump actually broke a time or two. I think I needed two replacements as I recall. But this was a 2007 V-rod, and that was the first or second year of the 4-cyl V-rods.

Anyway, I would run the thing as long as it continues to run OK. You might consider putting some fresh premium (no ethanol) in the tank, to fill it and mix with the fuel you have there already. You might also consider adding a fuel additive like Sea Foam. Also, if you haven't seen the site already, check out the forum over at the Verado Owners Club. They have a LOT of good information there, and there are people who've been running V-rod engines for thousands of hours by now. It's an invaluable resource.
