    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Not a Suzuki, but need help.....

My roommate has a 2009 Honda Rebel 250 and the bike doesn't want to stay running after you turn the choke completely off. Even after riding for several miles, if she turns the choke off the bike will die when she comes to a stop.....any idea what could be the problem or how to fix it...?

Thanx....Anita :clap:
 
Idle simply set too low??

If it has carbs, you know the dril... ;)
 
Two things spring to mind.
1) the carb idle setting is too low. The bike should be able to idle around 1200 rpm
2) more likely (if it won't idle) the carb(s) are gunked up and need a cleaning and rebuild.

What you could try before ripping into the carbs would be to add a half can of Seafoam to a tank of gas and ride it all through. You may need a second tank full but this could clean out the gunge.

I should emphasize that there is no substitute for cleaning the carbs thoroughly if you want them to run right. Have a look at the carb rebuild tutorial. Not exactly the same as hers but close enough to show you how it should go.

Hope this helps a wee bit and good luck on sorting it out.

Cheers,
spyug
