My Bike Cuts Off - Page 2

My idle screw has a knob and I can adjust it while at a stop light.

Raising the idle will help the stalling some, but you are giving signs of being lean so moving the c-clip will most likely solve your problem.

My idle screw has a thumb knob like Kato's and it really makes a difference in keeping you bike idleing, I guess it may be hard to tell if you dont know what your listening for, the tachs on these bikes are close but nothing beats adjusting it to the sound of the motor...

Get some tools (METRIC) and drop your C-clip, that should help alot...

My Komoto 250cc would cut out in a similar way until I changed the fuel line from the carberetor to fuel shut off valve. The original line was cheap and flimsy. It would easily get kinked and starve the motor of fuel. I bought a clear, rigid line and since then it has been running good. Make sure you cut the new line so it won't also kink.

Make sure the fuel line from the shut off valve to the carberator isn't kinked. To prevent a kink make sure it is the "right length" (trial and error) and is made of rigid tubing. You can buy a new line for 1.00 a ft. at a local bike shop. This solved my problem.

When I bought the bike, the guy decided to put some gas in the tank, so I could get where I needed to go, but for the length he held the gas jug there, I thought he filled it up, but I checked and it's pretty much empty. You think this could be the reason for the cutting off?

I'm still waiting for the answer. What is pretty much empty?
Can you see the hump in the tank? How many km/ miles have you put on since the fuel went in? Was it nice clean gas , or dirty old jug??

Fuel mixture screw? Too lean?

warrior91 · 05-30-2008, 12:38 AM

Is this bike running?

CRidin · 05-30-2008, 12:44 AM

I think I saw somewhere that he wrecked it?

Mavrick · 05-30-2008, 02:39 AM

Sorry, I haven't really had a chance to be on and post or to go into detail when I do post. I did in fact have a wreck and now my doesn't run. I'll need some help with that as soon as I get a chance to elaborate.

TeamCheap · 05-30-2008, 05:13 AM

Well thats not what we like to hear, someone having a wreck.

It happens though, are you all right?

warrior91 · 05-30-2008, 02:13 PM

Did you at least have your free helmet on? Or some boots or at very least some socks? :wink:

I guess the bike ran well enough...or had enough fuel :oops: to wreck.

8O Bubblewrap? 8O
At least he was well enough to get to the computer and type CRASH>......

I'm actually hurt and still hurting at this very moment. I think it might be serious enough to go to the ER today. Depends on whether or not this pain in my side subsides.

And yes, I was wearing my free helmet and I believe it saved me a whole lot of injury however inflicting injury at the same time. My neck rolled and the bottom of the helmet was thrusted into my neck.

That no way to start off as a motorcycle rider....
