I have a 2000 katana 750 f iv replaced air filter, plugs, fuel filter, carbs re jeted and for some reason it will start up great then after it warms up it starts to lose power and stalls then ill half to let it sit for 20mins and it will start back up like nothing wrong with it. i dont know what else to do
Ignition pickups on the timing plate are breaking down when they get hot and killing your sparks...coils are going bad with same effect...or you have valve clearances that are too tight.
No this bike dont have a radiator its oil/air cooled Make sure your oil level is good , it have a shut off sensor.
Does this motorcycle have a radiator if so, make sure it's full if it is go online and see if there's a sensor that shuts the bike down when it gets too hot. Maybe there's something wrong with that
SOURCE: stalling out
u have the mixture screw wound in to far. its normally located on the bottom of the carb. try winding it out half a turn at a time once the bike has warmed up. also turn the idle screw out a quarter of a turn at the time its in to far thats why it idles at low revs. the choke is needed to keep the air fuel mixture right thats why u are having to leave it on for so long. hope this helps.
SOURCE: stalls and acts like its out of fuel.
It's not getting fuel, so I suspect fuel filter or gas tank vent plugged. Next time it quits, open the gas tank. If you hear a whoosh of air, your vent is plugged so either clear the hose, find out where it is pinched or replace it. Fuel filter may be inside the tank, if so you will need small hands to get to it. Consult Haynes or Clymer's manual for exact location.

There may not be an in-line fuel filter on the bike. Most bikes don't come with them. Yes, the fuel petcock has two screen filters on one pipe and they can get clogged up. Remove the tank then remove the petcock and clean it. The gas in the tank should be dumped into a clear plastic storage bin so that you can see if there is any water in the gas as well as rust and trash. Your bike is 15 years old and the inside of the tank may be rusty. If so, Google “ kreem fuel tank liner “ or go to

This will end the rust problem. Go ahead an install an in-line fuel filter. There is a drain plug on the lower left side of each carb. Drain each carb into a clear container and look for water and trash. You may need to clean the carbs but hold off to see if the other stuff fixes the problem.

SOURCE: Drives great but at/when drops to idle it stalls
When you are on the bike and riding do you still have the choke out? And stop spraying starter fluid into the carbs..bad bad bad.... bikes start with out that stuff and if you need it then something is wrong.. your gonna mess something up doing that....let me know about the choke and we will go from [email protected]
SOURCE: starts and stays running with choke on. stalls
Pay special attention to the parts in red. DO NOT mix parts from the front carb with parts from the back carb. When removing adjuster screws and jets, count the number of turns to remove them, write it down, and replace with the same number of turns.
