dies

This is my first post, so I am not sure if this is the right place. I just purchased an 01 Hus FC470 and I can start it with the choke on and when I go to turn the choke off, it dies immediately. The only thing I have done so far is clean the air filter and check the oil. I have not checked the...

Lately I've started riding my some pretty gnarly hill climbs and had a little trouble with my bike dying. (2000 fc501) Let me go into a little more detail, these hills generally do not have much of a transition area and they only have about 35 feet in which to gain speed, then a 60 foot sandy...

On our last trip in the backyard of uncle Daffy called Libya (see gallery) my friends 04 FE450E died. The symptoms; The engine suddenly stopped, after that it was hard to start and it would only idle at 1/2 throttle. It didn't run very well. We still had 100 km's to go. After 30 km's the engine...

My 01 Fe501e did not run since Sunday. Just changed the oil. New oil, 4 kicks, it starts. Then it dies after 20 seconds... Hmm ok... rekick, restarts, dies after 20 seconds again. Rekick, keep throttle open, it pops then dies, this time after 30 seconds. No restart, now, unless I wait...

So here is my question, following the difficulty I had on Sunday. In normal riding conditions, the engine runs nice. Again, I am so pleased at how regular the power comes, with not nasty hit and simply more and more power available on demand. It is a 2001 FE501e and I had a lot of...

The berg is driving me nuts. she starts first kick, runs awesome for 35-40 minutes, then starts acting up. Won't idle, kick starts with choke and a little luck. If Icoast down hill it will start and takes a few seconds to clear itself out, then runs awesome until I let it get near idle again...

Help! Please! My FS 650 -04 tends to die on me when she gets warm. This happens when I'm giving too much throttle after idling. I've seen some threads about this and I know that both my gas taps are swithced on. There is a FP system om and I've mounted .48 idling jet and a 170 main and the...

Hey Guys, Here is another problem I am having. When I try to give the bike full throttlle (or anything over half throttle) from a low to mid rpm, it will just die. I have to slowly twist the throttle to get the rpm's up without it dying out. Is this a trait of not having a carb with...
