my bike just recently started stalling once it fully warms up and then won't restart.
This started a while back when I let it run with the choke on to warm up. I came back to the bike and revved it a little (not over the red line) and then got a nasty backfire and the bike stalled. My first thought was that I internally damaged the motor, or skipped a tooth on the timing gear.
I let the bike cool down and restarted it later....started fine and ran normally. Let it sit for about a week before trying again.
I went out yesterday (about a weel to week and a half after the "backfire" incident) to start it and she fired right up. Ran for about 15 minutes then stalled and I couldn't get it to restart. I waited a few hours and tried again....same problem!
Anyone have suggestions of where to start? I replcaed the regulator last year so I know that's not the issue, but something gives me the feeling its igniton related. Anyone hear of a recurring issue like this?
Thanks Much,
Al Conforti
