    Sluggish and not idling

    Hi guys,
    My bike started riding really sluggishly today and won't idle whatsoever. Any idea of the cause? It's got oil, petrol and water. Someone said that my carb might need cleaning to make sure enough fuel's getting through or something. I'm not very technically minded so any help is much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Matt

    Is the bike running on BOTH cylinders??--may be as simple as a pulled off coil lead

    Brilliant diagnosis!!

    Hey, Mafu1, try to catch up with someone local and knowledgable to help out. Could be any number of things..... the carby may be a good place to start. Sometimes it works out cheaper and easier to take it to a professional, with any luck someone on this site and in your area will surface to help out

    If it's a sudden change in performance, I'd be thinking electrical (lead off - failed plug cap...) Or mechanical (camchain slipped a tooth)...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
