Dirty injectors, a vacuum leak or possibly bad fuel. Is there a check engine light on?

Just check to make sure you have the kickstand all the way up before putting it into gear. Also check the switch on the sidestand too.

SOURCE: carborated R6 throttle stuck wide open

Yes they generally can be stuck in Spring if the fuel wasn't removed last season. Remove carbs. Open top cap and clean with solvent and carb spray. The float bowls can become thick with old fuel as well. Clean everything that you can get to, flush the gas tank before reinstalling carbs and sending new fuel down.

SOURCE: Engine light

I've restarted my RSTD in Southwest U.S. temperatures well above 100F after short stops and experienced the same symptoms; choking the engine fully prior to a restart and releasing the choke after the engine fires seems to eliminate the stall. I suspect that heat rising from the engine boils most of the fuel from the carburetor bowls, and full choke pulls enough fuel back in to keep the engine running.

The owner's manual recommends 20W-40 in that temperature range. DO NOT USE ANY OIL MARKED "ENERGY CONSERVING", it contains molybdenum disulfide (a friction modifier) and may make the clutch slip. Tourers that drive long distances and operate in a wide range of temperatures generally recommend synthetic lubricants - Mobil Delvac 1, Mobil-1 SUV and Shell Rotella T Synthetic are names that keep popping up. Personally, I've been using Rotella-T (T6) synthetic for 111,000 miles (and used Mobil-1 0W-40 for 9,000 miles prior to that), and the bike has required nothing but routine maintenance. I've used the bike in temperatures from 11F to 118F (ambient) without negative effect.

SOURCE: cygnus x engine cuts out. as you come to a stop at

Check for any splits on the rubber intake sleeve.this is what connects the carb to the bike.If this does not rectify the fault then strip down and clean the carb jets especially the idle jet as it may be slightly blocked causeing such symptoms.good luck

Have your carburettor checked and cleaned, this is the most common solution for your problem

I have a 2005 volkswagen beetle. I have been having problems. When I take off its ok when i press the gas. Once I get on the fwy and i am driving for like 15 mins and there is traffic and its stop and go....

Is it worse with a full tank? I'm thinking that the closed circuit tank breather system is creating a vacum in the tank starving the engine, when you switch off it will vent the tank, try running with the cap loose or off (this might turn the engine warning light on for a while but dont worry)

2009 Street glide idles poorly, strong gas smell, stalls

The 09 models come with a "parade" mode which causes the rear cyclinder to quit firing when idling in traffic etc to combat over heating. You should be able to kick it on by rolling the throttle grip FORWARD for 5 to 10 seconds. Have you changed the pipes or air filter? If you have and never had the EFI adjusted (either factory download or fuel tuner installed) your bike could be running extra rich causing the over heating and eventual engine destruction. New Harleys run rich from the factory, any changes to the intake/exhaust system without proper fuel injection management will cause overheating. Try getting your bike into parade mode by rolling the throttle forward to the stops for a few seconds, that will cool things down.

Sounds like you need a fuel pump. If its the original with114,000 miles then replace it.

Car cutting out when idleing

Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls at stops and low erratic idle speed and rough idle, it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
