I just bought this bike, it seems to be very low hours, looks brand new and ran fine for two days. cranks on second kick. I changed the oil, changed the coolant, rode it, and it started cutting out really bad. it bogged and died, when I tried to recrank it I didnt get a full kick on accident and it kicked back and blew the (radiator)** ?? hose off of the water pump housing on the left side cluctch cover. When I put it back on do I take the radiator cap off and kick it over a few times to get the air out before I fill it back up? also it will crank and idle fine but if I try to give it gas it dies. any ideas? im running sunoco purple 110 octane fuel in it as this is what was in it when I purchased. is it possible that some trash just got in the carb? why did it pressure up and blow the radiator hose off? I planned on cleaning the carb, replenishing the coolant, and putting in a new plug this evening and seeing what it does. I just need to know why it keeps blowing off that radiator hose, did it once when I didnt get the full kick and it almost threw me over the handle bars, the second time was when it was idling I kept trying to give it some gas (feathering the throttle ) as it tried to bog out and die.... EPIC FAIL as it blew the hose off and showered me in boiling hot coolant. Thanks in advance guys!!!
