hi all, troubleshooting a problem i've had for a while on my 2011 570FE.
if the bike is cold and i chop the throttle while the bike isn't engaged (neutral or clutch in) it's almost like i can hear the intake burp a little and the bike cuts out. it's not always the easiest thing to...
My 2009 FE450 starts and runs for about 3 seconds and then stops. It will do this as many times as you like, but it will not keep running. I suspected the fuel pump and replaced that but with no improvement to the problem. Has anyone got a suggestion on where to look?
I've owned my FE450 for about 8 months and upto now has ran perfect. After the bike being stood for one week it now cuts out when warm and will not restart until its cold. It was first just when at idle but cuts out now as soon as i start to decelerate I have checked/done the following but the...
any ideas? just today engine starts when cold and idles well, after a short ride it dies. When cold it started well again but after about the same time cut out. Did this a few times. Does not want to start when last tried. Fuel getting to carbi ok. Plug looks normal, No strange sounds...
I'm literally fed up of this, 1 year ago I had yet another mid life crisis and decided to try something different so I bought a new FE450 (2012), in the last year I have to concede I've hardly used the machine but I'm trying to rectify this now. Riding hours currently stand at 11 :oops...
hi ive just got a 05 650 and after a lot of kicking it now runs it starts 2nd or 3rd kick every time but it will only run for about 30 seconds . as soon as it has cut out you can kick it off straight away any ideas?
Hi all, i recently got taken on a deal for a 1995 FC501. The problem i have is that when driving down the road at relatively constant throttle, the engine wil begin to cut in and out as if someone is hitting the kill switch, and then smoke (its unburned fuel i think). It only takes a mile or...
G-day
Last run out. We were riding through water and most of us temporarily cut out when charging through deep water.
Does anyone know why this happens and can it be cured.
My friend thinks it could be the water shorting out the spark plug cap area.
I think its the carb breathers getting...
I tore down the carb the other night, it's bone stock as far as I can tell(195 jet), I coudn't see any visibile wear on the jet or needle(doesn't mean there wasn't any). Wasn't dirty, but I cleaned it up anyway, no blocked passages, etc.
I seem to be reading that the floats in the bowl might...
