93 gsxr wont start and occasionally dies

Went to start my bike an it wouldnt start, checked it the next day an it started right up. Two days later riding down the road it accited like it was starving for fuel an died. sat on the side of the road for 5 min. tried to start my bike again an it fired rite up. still rideing it. fuses are good, fuel is good, spark was good. what the ****. on the day it wouldent start i pulled the tank and a spark plug turned an over the engin. igot spark. so.... i figure its a fuel problem. i havent gotten into my bike yet to do any thing as far as checking the fuel system. QUESTION. do i have fuel filters? fuel pumps like automobiles? do i have a gravity feed system? breather valve pluged? filter or screen inside the tank? i work on cars but have never worked on a motorcycle. suggestions? thank u.

You could possibly have a bad fuel petcock they sometimes work there way out and cause fuel cut off to half the carburetors. The vent tube on tob of the tank can also become blocked. You can check it buy sucking on the tube and making sure you can **** air out of it. You may or may not have inline filters under the tank. If it's a 93 there is no fuel pump.

Gravity fed their is no fuel pump. if you do have a filters it will be inline between tank and carbs. you could have sediment in your tank also.

1998 f250 5.4l would not start. changed feul pump and filter still would not start. 20 mni later started. was cleaning engine while running 10 15 min later died wont start.

Check fuel pressure at the injector rail. Could be your fuel pump relay is cutting out. If fuel pressure is good, check for sparks at the plug wires. Read the link below for more info.

Hi i drove to work and as i pulled up and put stand down the bike died and wouldnt start.i left it and the next day in the morn it wouldnt start still about 8 hrs later i finished work called the AA and 15...

I think the stand is the cause of the issue. Check the stand switch as if the bike is in gear or you have the clutch let out and the stand is down, it will not attempt to start.
Hope that helps.

I ave a 994 pontiac, bonnieville. about a week

there is probably a dead spot in the fuel pump,and when it is hot and you shut off the car it will not run.Next time the car does not start,bang on the gas tank with a piece of wood or spray some starter fuel in the throttle body. if it starts,it is a fuel problem.
use a spark tester to see if there is spark as well.ignition modules and coil packs are common on those cars,as well as the EGR valve getting stuck.that will cause the car to idle ok but die out as soon as 2500 rpm is reached.

F1 light comes on bike cuts off of my 2008 gsx . i change oil -gas- and bought it to the shop and the same problem. when i turn the bike on i runs for a little while then turns off

F-I is fuel injection system telling you to clean air-filter,fuel-filter and clean the fuel injector system. This is a good start.

I cant start my motorcycle

Check the carb for old petrol, drain off by unscrewing the brass bolt at the bottom of the carb, and allow new petrol to flow through on the starter. Petrol 'goes off' in time!
