    Hi everyone! Recently I bought my first motorcycle. It is a 1987 Suzuki GS 450 L. The bike ran perfectly until now. The bike starts cold very well, but when I ride it for 10 to 15 minutes, it stalls and cuts off. It is like losing the power when I hit the throttle. After 10 minutes starts again...

    Hello guys, so I have a K8 1000 and we bought my GF a cbr250r.

And since I never drove smaller motorcycle I don't know...

    Hello! :grin: I've got this '96 Bandit 600, andI've got some problems. The issue in itself is that when I idle it, it won't really run without stalling. So I turn up the idle screw under the carbs, which results in the bike idling at 3,5k rpm when riding (so when I pull the clutch it goes up to...

    So i have a 2014 YZF Yamaha R6 and its pretty banged up now, need to give it a birthday but before i do this there is a small part missing that fell out of my rear breaks.

    I recently got The bike stated, the guy who sold it to me had it sitting for well over a year after he wrecked on another bike.

    And then when it fires, it runs rough, then when I try to give any gas, it dies instantly. I removed carb, cleaned, adjusted float and set everything back to factory settings. Put together and it did the same thing. Jump up and down on seat while trying to start, and it starts. Then dies giving...
