so my bike runs good for about 2 or 3 laps then just suddenly bogs and dies, or will just die without bogging. Once this happens it will die like every 3 minutes. i will be either on the gas or just letting off into a corner or something and it will just bog/die. It will start up again right after a few kicks and idle good, rev good, and all. It is really annoying and unsafe because i dont want it to die right before a lip and cause me to endo etc...so i need to fix this asap. Any ideas what is wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

How old is the plug ?

Maybe you have a wire in the electrical system that is chaffed and grounding out cause'n the bike to die ?

iskatealot33 · 08-30-2008, 06:54 PM

JUST changed the spark plug, i thought that was the problem but it is not.

and ill check out the electrical, thanks

Definetly sounds like an electrical issue.

Run through some checks and tell us what you find.

It could be something stupid like the gas swtich is off, or the choke is on...If not, clogged jets and or the electircals (specifically coils) can be the issue...Defenately sounds the same as wut happened to my stupid ass, Running with the gas closed and dying on every corner and bogging sick...ahahaha its probably not though

bad coil. replace and your golden.

it will eventually go out 100%

BlackBeard · 08-30-2008, 07:57 PM

if not electrical sounds like dirt in the carb, the particle gets sucked up clogging the jet and restricting gas flow, once it dies the suction stops and you can get gas again only until that piece gets sucked up again.

Hmm, very good idea. Try cleaning your float bowl, jets, etc. See if you find anything.

its a possibility but probably not the case here.

would be smart to clean out the crab before you spend any money though.

on topic check your ground wire first ,a rusted ground mount drove me crazy for a few hours .

gncc_jake · 08-30-2008, 08:22 PM

check your ground...sounds like a loose ground to me or like ZBBT said, foreign object in the carb...possibly your pet-cock is broken and restricting fuel flow to a trickle

gncc_jake · 08-30-2008, 08:31 PM

also check that your tank vent hose is not clogged...could be gettin vapor lock and slowly letting air back in, enough to get goin again, and lock again
