Stalling/dying issues.

Hrvstmn31 · 01-06-2013, 05:42 PM

I unfortunately have had a problem whenever I go above 40-50 mph the engine kicks and dies. It's hard to explain since I'm still fairly new at this so I'm not sure what to list as symptoms so I hope you can bear with me.

Does the bike run fine at lower speeds? Or does it buck occasionally? Is the idle stable? Any trouble starting?

She runs fine at lower speeds, the idle is fine, and she starts like a dream but it does start to buck before it stalls. Also when i restart it I have to prime it in order for start and when it starts up it backfires any ideas?

Ride the bike while in the PRIME position.

Check your air filter, and the drain from the airbox.

Anyway sorry it took so long but I took it to get looked at and someone screwed up my carburetor below is the sheet I got when I paid for repairs. Posting this reply for the sake of people who might have the same problem and also a reminder that if you don't know what the hell your doing take it to a mechanic.

The joys of buying a used bike. At least the shop did a fairly comprehensive check and test rides. Might be a good shop to keep in mind when another issue pops up that you don't want to handle yourself. A decent shop is hard to find in many cases. It is a pity because the shops/dealers are just cutting their own throats by not spending a little extra time to really find the issue.
