Fuel system may need to have solids (trash or water) removed.Clean tank, hoses and filter. If you find trash in any of these, the carbs are next to be cleaned out.

I recently bought a 2004 klx 400 sr dual sport. the bike starts up with no problems. After i ride it for a few minute the bike starts to act like it is running out of gas then stalls. it will turn...

Hello
Your running out of gas.
the fuel filter needs replaced.
your fuel filter is clogged and isn't letting a full flow of gasoline through.
change your fuel filter.

Also check to make sure your gas tank vent isn't clogged.
a clogged gas tank vent with pull a vacuum and try to **** your tank in, but it can't, so your fuel flow stops if it can't breathe.

That should take care of your problem.
have a great weekend

Hi i have a ZRX1100 C1 and it runs fine, however i have noticed at times that it is strating to act as though it is running out of fuel, or when the throttle is opened quickly it seems to pause a few...

Did your bike set up over the winter or for a long period of time (overtwo or three weeks)? If so, the fuel/ethanol mix has gummed, partially closing off jets and passageways. Rather than go to the expense of tearing the carb/injector down, purchase a can of SeaFoam and pour half the can in your fuel tank. Ride the way you normally ride, and if that was the problem, you will notice a difference within thirty minutes to and hour of riding. Might check your aircleaner for cleanliness, also.

Bike will not start or stay running on a full charge battery/bought brand new battery, still same promblem,jump bike off,will crank ,ride bike for 30 min. park bike, leave bike running,lights start's to...

sounds like the problem is your battery is not charging when you are riding. The most common cause is a faulty regulator / rectifier. Contact a motorcycle wreckers for these parts, or your yamaha dealer.
Easy way to test is, when your bike is running, and the lights start to dim, before the bike shuts down, using a volt meter, test the voltage at the battery terminals, should be about 14V. If faulty rectifier,no charge going in to your battery, then the reading will be low, about only a few volts. If you dont have a volt meter, then any mechanic shop can do this test for you. best to have this done before buying any parts.

06 1200 c = when i come to a stop after riding for 10 mmin or more the engine dies and acts as if it is not getting fuel. sometimes if i give it a little throttle it misses and backfires . run great at all...

Not sure exactly what the problem is but if I had to take a guess, I'd say that it is running lean and once it's good and hot, it's just a bit too lean to idle correctly.

The bikes come jetted or mapped, depending on whether its a carbed or fuel injected bike, on the lean side to meet EPA emissions standards. The addition of the V & H pipes probably made the situation worse.

If it's a carbed bike, you need to change the low speed jet up one size and add a 0.020" inch thick washer under the needle. Try just changing the jet first.

If it's fuel injected, I don't know because I don't work on the injected model bikes, you'll have to take that to the dealer and see if they can remap the fuel system control for you.

Suzuki gsxr k6 600 fuel injectors problems The F1 light has come on when I started the bike up it alternates between the temp and F1 I have not started the bike in a while 1 month

The display is really FI as in Fuel Injection. The fuel injection computer has sensed a fault in the Injection system. You will need to ride the bike to a dealer and have them read the fault codes. It is probably just something minor. Major faults will not allow the bike to run. You will not hurt the bike if you ride it.

Can I get a “very helpful” rating on this answer?

Bike acts as if running out of fuel.but has plenty of fuel

sounds like the fuel filter needs to be changed. It is letting enough fuel thru to idle but not enough to run.
