Hi all.
Mate & I went riding yesterday on a tight, rutted, root infested track another mate uses for training. It was my 1st ride on the new (old 450) but the interesting part was the back to back comparison with the 501.
When in the real tight stuff the 501 would constantly stall unless the revs were kept up & the clutch was used as a throttle. Very tiring. The 450 would pull cleanly without stalling unless I was silly. So the big question is how do we stop the 03 501 from stalling all the time? Its driving my mate crazy restarting it all of the time.
It seemed to start easy enough on this day but sometimes it just wont fire unless a prayer is made towards Sweden.
I played with the fuel screw (out around 2.5 turns), the valves are good, spark plug was new.
Any clue where to start?
Thanks all.
