|
Hey so I'm still working on tuning my bike and it has been going well until the past few days. I took it out for a run to warm it up and it was running pretty well until al of a suddon I started losing power and stalled it. I walked it home (luckily I wasn't too far) and took off the side cover off and found a few wires that had been soldered together and taped up. I disconnected these and redid the soldering and heat shrinked it. I took it out for another run and encountered the same issue. I pulled it into the shop and it was idleing fine. It sounds like a fuel issue but its just kind of random, It runs fine for a little while then it doesn't. It was running ok with the petcock on prime or on run so I'm stuck....

Take the gas cap apart and clean the vent. See if that helps

I bought a GS750 once that kept doing that at first. Turned out some genius had replaced the fuel line with vinyl tubing. Soon as the motor heated up, it got soft, folded over in the bends, and cut off the fuel flow.
You just never know....

I had a smiler problem. I found a broken wire going to the fuse block.
Once I got it to run I fiddled with the wiring until I found the culprit.
