I have a 2004 CF230; starts and idles great. When I start in first gear the bike just bogs down to where it almost stalls. Air cleaner is good, plug is good. Could there be a jet blocked? How do I fix this?

2008 Harley Davidson FLSTN Softail Deluxe. Why does my bike want to die when I come to a stop only but runs great when going up and down gears?

The first thing to try is putting a couple of fuel tanks of injector cleaner (properly mixed) through the injection system.

Also clean the IAC (idle air control)

Occasional low idle at stop/engine dies

2002 Hyosung GV250 bogging down when starting out

There could be several possible causes for your 2002 Hyosung GV250 bogging down when starting out. Here are a few things to check:
  1. Fuel system: Ensure that the fuel system is functioning properly. Check for clogged fuel lines, dirty fuel filter, or inadequate fuel supply.
  2. Carburetor: The carburetor may be dirty or clogged, causing a lean fuel mixture. Clean the carburetor or have it professionally cleaned if needed.
  3. Air filter: A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, leading to poor performance. Check and clean or replace the air filter as necessary.
  4. Spark plugs: Worn or fouled spark plugs can cause poor ignition, resulting in engine bogging. Check and replace the spark plugs if necessary.
  5. Exhaust system: A partially blocked or restrictive exhaust system can cause poor performance. Check for any obstructions and clear them if necessary.
  6. Electrical system: Ensure that the battery and charging system are functioning properly. Weak battery or faulty charging system can lead to inconsistent power delivery.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to have a professional mechanic inspect the motorcycle to diagnose the exact cause of the problem.

I have a suzuki 750 gsxr 2002 the bike bike starts great idles perfect but when I ride for bout ten mins and I have to down shift and stop when I start to go again it stalls and bogs down

Every vehicle has 10-15 years of life and after 10 to 15 years they have zero value that means it cant be sold with a good amount neither can work after these years.

WHY IS MY SUZUKI RM125 MOTERCROSS BIKE SPITING AND SPUTERING WHILE TRY TO GAIN SPEED THROUGH THE GEARS

I would check your spark plug to see if fouled, if so clean with wire brush and carburetor cleaner or replace plug. You think it is possible the fuel mix got higher than 40 to 1? If mix is too high it can cause the bike to run lean.Usually if mix is off you will have some blueish grey smoke coming out of exhaust.

My 1994 5-speed manual Pathfinder sputters and jerks when it's cold

Here are the common cause of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle, it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and/or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving

2002 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R after sitting for a month bike would not start. Got it to start changed spark plugs cleaned Carbs. Bike starts and revs nice. on first gear bike runs great, once in second gear...

Any one of these could be cause of your problem. Sounds like maybe a spark plug coils is bad. Did you gap the plugs? Also sound like secondary fuel injectors not opening fully, and air leaks inbetween intake boots and head. Start bike and let idle Use non-chlorinated brake cleaner spray small squirt on each intake boot find the leak when the bike idles up there is a leak. You can't properly sync multiple carbs if there is even one vacuum or intake leak. Take out spark plugs keep them in their own same cylinders. Read the plugs what do they tell you. Google how to read a spark plug.

It idles fine. When I press the throttle, it bogs down and stalls. I replaced the spark plug when this initially occurred.

The problem is that your carbeurator is gummed up. Get a can of carbeurator cleaner spray at any auto parts store. remove the air filter and put two squirts of cleaner into the air port hole. start it up. with the assistance of a helper, run it and squirt one squirt of cleaner at a time into the air hole until it no longer bogs down.

1992 kawasaki Vulcan 750 stops running

Check the intake manifold/s, even a small leak will make it run poor. Being stored for five years then putting it into use, you may have a blocked main jet. Sea-foam is a great product and I would have used that product to store the bike but not to get it running. It is slow acting so it doesnt work like carb cleaner.
