I have a 1996 bandit 600. It has been sitting for 3 months and it starts fine with the choke on but will not allow me to turn the choke off, even after running for a few. Also it will idle, with the choke on 1/4 of the way and when I rev It instantly dies. Any Ideas

Thanks I took the carbs out and cleaned them and it ran fine drove it and everything. Tried it this morning and it started up perfect, but when i shift to first it stalls.

hi, sorry late getting back to you, (working), does this still feel like fuel problem to you or does it stop as if someone is turning the switch off?, if you have made sure all your carbs are clean, try undoing the drain screws in the float bowl once more incase some thing has restricted the fuel supply, secondly check the switch on the side stand is not sticking this sometimes happens on bikes that have been standing a while, the safety switch inhibits you starting the bike with the stand down while in gear, keep at it you will get there patientce pays off in the end, any questions email me, paul hi, sorry late getting back to you, (working), does this still feel like fuel problem to you or does it stop as if someone is turning the switch off?, if you have made sure all your carbs are clean, try undoing the drain screws in the float bowl once more incase some thing has restricted the fuel supply, secondly check the switch on the side stand is not sticking this sometimes happens on bikes that have been standing a while, the safety switch inhibits you starting the bike with the stand down while in gear, keep at it you will get there patientce pays off in the end, any questions email me, paul
