So my Boom Vader runs great in the afternoon but twice now on a cool morning 45° or so I make about 1/4 mile and the bike dies and won't restart. All stock, 2020 125

Let it warm up a little longer before you ride. Could be icing for to the fuel being too cold ( thinking in gas turbine logic)

Carburetor icing absolutely is a thing.

Check your gas tank vent hose. That can crimp up and vapor lock you on rides. Usually these bikes are held back by some fuel delivery issue

Has the valve lash been adjusted? These bikes come brand new with valve lash all over the place. I mean, some people get months out of them from new with no issues, and some have issues from the get-go as they have needed adjustment from assembly.

Got it figured out all good thanks guys. Would you believe the choke was stuck, fixed that and it's been great ever since. Until I changed my rear tire and somehow lost a spacer.
