If the engine is equipped with a carburetor, it sounds like the accelerator pump is not working. Take your air filter off and with the engine OFF, crank the throttle wide open. You should see a squirt of fuel squirt into the carb from the brass thing in the mouth of the carb. If not, the accelerator pump is not working. It probably needs a new diaphragm in it.

To put a new diaphragm in the carb, remove the air filter backing plate and take the four screws out that holds the float bowl on. With the float bowl off the carb, turn it upside down. Take out the remaining two screws in the accelerator pump plate. You'll see the diaphragm and the return spring under the plate. Put the new diaphragm on position with the sping on top and reinstall the plate. Put the float bowl back on the carb and reinstall the air cleaner backing plate. Make sure the throttle works as it should and start the engine. It should rev cleanly now.

Good Luck
Steve

When I start my 2003 Vstar 1100 Classic, and as i give it throttle during ideling, it dies out? Also as im driving my bike and i come to a red light and i down shift and the idle lowers, it dies out, but...

There are a few quick things to try before cleaning the carbs.

1.Clean your air filter, it may be choking out, trust me a dirty air filter will choke out a bike.
2.Check your spark plugs. If they are black and sooty, change them out. Its quick and less expensive.

I diagnosed a 2001 Roadking Fuel injected. Ran like ****, hardly any throttle response, died at idle.
the customer said he just had it serviced a month ago at the dealer.
I pulled the plugs and they were nasty. The dealer forgot to change out the sparkplugs. It Happens
I Put in a new set of spark plugs and the bike ran like new.
I've fixed a bunch of bikes in the past and this one always stuck in my mind because of the difference in performance.

Try the sparkplugs, i think its more likely to be that than the air filter.

My 2000 roadking speedometer does not work.is there a fuse or cable to fix this..

Should be electronic on a 2000 . Check your owners manual for fuse location , typically they are near the battery . you can also look near the transmission for loose wires at the vehicle speed sensor
