    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

All of a sudden it stalls !

I was riding into town on the highway the other day and while crusing at about 70 mph all of a sudden my bike just dies. It slows to about 30 mph and starts again and off I go. It happened after about 20 mins into my trip and then again about 10 mins later. It happened again on the return trip at about the same intervals.

I was riding to work today (about 6 miles) and it was just great. On the way home it kindof kicked like it stalled and caught again and was fine until I was about a mile from home and it stalled again. it slowed to about 5 mph from 25 mph and it back fired with a gunshot and started again and I was able to ride home.

The carbs were ripped off and rebuilt over the off season. The plugs don't look too bad. One looks a little dark but not too bad.

Anyone ever seen this or know what it might be ? It's been running so well this year and I'd like to keep it that way.

Thanks

intermittant ignition.
check killswitch,connections,ignitor ect.
 
Noticed something new !
I'm thinking this is electrical because it stopped for while and then it started back worse than ever. I found however that if I depress the clutch lever slightly, it starts right back up again. Is there some kind of switch in the clutch for starting the bike or something that may be faulty ?

Yes there is, it is a safety feature, clean it, fix it, or disconnect it all together. :D
 
How do I get to it ? Is it in the lever itself or somewhere else ?
 
Look at the underside of the lever and lever holder, there should be a thing with 2 wires coming out, held on by 2 screws.
