clean carburettor.check fuel line for clots and replace filter.

check your fuse, battery, battery cables.

My lawn tractor with a Kawasaki engine had the same problem. I found that the linkage for the gas throttle had a lot of dirt on it and would not let the throttle close completely. So when I shut off the warm engine, gas leaked into the cylinder. It would take a lot of cranking to start. When it did start, the exhaust put out black smoke.

you'll have to break out a meter and start checking things. could be a starter switch, starter relay or just needed a starter rebuild. also if your bike has safety switches like brake handles, clutch and nuetral switches check all them.

Depending on the amount of metal in the oil would dictate the seriousness of the issue. A little is ok in most cases in the first few oil changes, but anything more than that and there is something wrong with the engine. In most cases this would mean a total rebuild.

if it smells like gas you have a stuck carb float too

Hi ! for an informantion, please visit the website below. If you need more information about a specific electrical issue you can reach me at [email protected]. http://www.motorpartstore.com.Good luck and have a nice day.

Check the electronic ignition circuit, you problem lies there. Could be something very simple like a ground wire failing to make contact.

Go to the Kawasaki site... they have support site: manuals and illustrated parts breakdown schematics. Look there and you'll get it exactly right. I have rebuilt one myself and the schematic helped me find parts and diagnose problems in the carb and mixture.

There are two types of circlips, internal and external, The external are fitted to yoke, while the internal are fitted to ujoint cup. Both can be removed with circlip pliers .

Automobile starter repair shops have a test set-up and can test any starter with it. If the solenoid is bad, they can tell you. The most common fault is a clicking sound when not starting, but that isn't the only fault. A common fault is a loose ground wire or short, but since your starts with a pull, then that appears unlikely in your case or it wouldn't start at all. Good luck.

Carburetor was improperly rebuilt, or timing is off on engine.

May just need a battery if not maybe the solenoid sometimes you can peck on the solenoid and it might start or a fuse

I had a pressure washer that did the same thing, couldn't figure it out for the life of me.... took it into a repair shop and for 90 bucks I learned that a bad plug can work until it gets hot then die... If it was I .... I would change plugs make sure there are no restrictions in air... and then fuel lines... sounds like you are getting a residual fuel to fir up the machine and not enough or no fuel to keep it running....also check your oil level in case it is a low oil cut out... Snowing in Buffalo right now time to get the XRS out and walk the cat

sounds like electric fuel pump when it quits,take fuel line off at carb turn key on you should hear pump and see fuel coming at line

Sounds like you have ball joint or steering linkage problems..have some one set on the seat and make hard turns right and left while you watch for excessive movement " linkage or ball joint slap " before the wheels actually turn..or jack the front end up one side at a time and with the steering wheel strapped in place"bungee chord " move each wheel up and down and left to right..find the excess movement and go from there..good luck

Make sure your drive clutch spring isnt broke.

You might need a new thermostat, the temp switch may also have to be replaced.
