View Full Version : Bike keeps stalling

Every time I come to a stop, I will have the clutch pulled right in, and it will stall.

I usually give it some revs so that it doesn't stall but at the same time I have to keep the brake on otherwise I'll take off

It feels like when i'm at a stop doing that, it's flooding the engine or something.

It usually stalls anyway.

What's the problem???

Your clutch needs adjusting.

:facepalm:

you are pulling in the lever on the left when you stop aren't you ? sorry, couldn't resist a little dig :innocent:

Is your cable streched ? is there any/to much free play in the lever ? There should be an adjuster on the lever, where the cable comes out, undo the lock nut thing and adjust, wind the little knurled bit out I think ?
Give that a try and get back to us

Unless it's hydraulic :scratch:

On your bike you have to turn the key to the left, 3 turns every week or so, thats why its called a keeway.

Dont worry if it seems abit reluctant to turn at first (its probably just abit stuck from not being done for a while) just give it a big twist, it should lossen up pretty quick.

It usually stalls anyway? What's the warm idle speed set at?

Probably something to do with stretched powerband. What colour is it?
