Bike has been sitting outside for 8 months

[francewavidok]

Hi guys,

My Hyo gt250r has been sitting outside for about 8 months - in a carport. I think the battery could use a trickle charge and the carbs cleaned.

Before it was stored, the bike would literally turn off when the engine was revd hard, not sure what was causing this.

What would I need to do to bring the baby back to life?

Define revved hard? 8k? Redline?
Only under load or can replicate in the driveway?
Carbed?
Any other electrical nuances? E.g headlight gets dimmer when revs reach x rpm.

it's a fucking hyo. dont waste your time.

if you haven't had your battery on trickle charge, it's no fucking use doing it now.

what's causing that shit? gay little chineses in your engine, that's what

[Akzle]

Carbed?

and the carbs cleaned.

probably eh...

And ...

Clean the air filter.

Drain and flush the fuel tank. Fill tank with fresh fuel.

THEN ... drain and flush the carbs.

Before it was stored, the bike would literally turn off when the engine was revd hard, not sure what was causing this.

Not getting the fuel would be my guess. Or poor quality fuel ... or shit in the fuel tank blocking the filter in the tank.

What would I need to do to bring the baby back to life?

If the above wont fix the problems .. let it die. Sell it and buy a Yamaha.

Sell it and buy a Yamaha.

Or he could buy a motorcycle instead.

Haha it's good to be back and know you cunts haven't changed a bit. Yes its a Hyobag - I like the hyobag - why? it's my first bike.

I'm not very mechanically minded - only under load does she turn off - not sure what's causing it - I'm guessing I'm also going to need a new battery. How do I drain the fuel?

[francewavidok]

also - is it possible the kickstand switch is causing the issue of it turning off in high revs?

Your second bike will (usually) be better ...

I like this fucker.

Doubt it will be the kickstand switch. Best way to drain it would be to take the tank off and make sure you get it all out. And undo the drain screw on the bottom of the carb.

So why did you leave it 8 months? Administer yourself swift upper cut.

Dealt with a few of little bikes and had similar issues. Check the relays under the seat. There is a master relay. This can get a bad connection if it comes out of its base slightly. Vibration can cause the fecker to open close the relay causing the bike to stop intermitently. Simple fix is to wrap a zip tie around it to hold it securely to the base. Give that a go see how ya go eh.

The poor thing !!! Give it a cuddle and tell it you are very very sorry ...

...I borrowed an '73 A50 Suzuki in '82 when I returned from o/seas to visit my dad who was crook, just to get around my little town, returning it to behind my friends house, leaning on the fence, when I was going back...I came back again in '86, another visit...my friend had sold the house where the A50 had lived...when I asked if the A50 was still a runner, my friend looked bemused and said,' I forgot I ever owned it, haven't seen it in years'.

He had no idea of what happened to it after I had leaned it back on the fence...a few weeks later I had reason to be visiting the house next door to my friends ex-house. A row of shrubby bushes had grown along the fenceline, and when I went and had a closer look, the A50 was right in the middle of this untidy straggly bush...I talked to the new owner about 'our bike', being left in his bush and he agreed I should cut it out and retrieve it...an hour later with only a fresh tank of gas and a spark plug check, I rolled it down the steep drive, it fired up and after a few moments of warming it up, I was off...

...it ended up travelling from Lyttelton to Rotorua (didn't quite make Dorkland as planned) with my mad brit bro in law on it...his backpack looked bigger than the bike...

Right you bastards, I've tried to turn the key today. Dash lights up fine - that's about it. Turning the key makes no sound what so ever - no clicking nothing... what's wrong with the poor lass.

She's received a good cuddle and an I'm sorry. Just like your first kiss - even if it was a fat chick with freckles - you never forget your first bike. Also, not mechanically minded so all suggestions are sounding like it's out of my scope. Who has a weekend and would take payment in bro hugs or real money to help a brother out?

She got left in the garage because I became a dad and dedicated my time to helping with the bubs rather than riding... Bubs is 7 months now and seeing as it's my only mode of transport (have just gotten rid of second car) - I need to get her up and running.
