Why does my bike misfire?
There are several reasons why a motorcycle sputters. The most common reasons are carburetor issues such as a vacuum leak, fuel leak, or tuning issues. Other culprits could include corroded or cracked spark plugs or spark plug wires, a faulty ignition coil, a clogged air filter, or engine timing issues.
When does a bike die after warming up?
Bike will start fine, then after warming up (usually 3-5 minutes or so), it starts to drop in idle speed, and will eventually die. Once it dies, it will not restart right away unless I open the throttle quite a bit. Best results are had by just waiting a few minutes, and then trying it again.
Why does my motorcycle engine stall when warm?
And the problem is often worse on a hot day. The dreaded stalling issue when the engine is warm is the most common idle problem and it is mostly related to the very lean air/fuel ratio on the modern fuel injected motorcycle engine. Why does my motorcycle stall at idle when the engine is warmed up and at operating temperature ? – Low compression.
What should I put in my bike to warm up?
Drain the old gas, as much as possible, including the float bowls. Put in fresh, half a tank with 2 OZ per gallon of Gumout or B12 (note I did NOT say Seafoam). Use liberal choke and NO throttle to get it started; leave the choke partly ON while it warms up. If/when it starts running better, after a couple of days maybe]
Why does my bike not start with the side stand down?
Some bikes will not start with the side stand down, if the bike is in gear or if the clutch lever is not pulled in. Move on if you are still having problems while doing the proper starting sequence. A great place to start is at the source of power. You need to make sure that your battery is in working condition.

Why does my bike run out of gas?
The reason they advise that is that your problem most likely is actually running out of gas……..or to put it another way, the engine is burning gas faster than it is being provided by the tank. First thing to test is remove the hose from the carb (with the petcock OFF), stick the end in an empty can and then turn the petcock ON.
Why does my bike lose power when I idle?
Again, if you ride a modern bike you’ll have no idea what a choke is, but even Electronically Fuel Injected motorcycles reveal a lot by “blipping” the throttle. Rich bikes are getting too much gas, so they idle high but lose power when given initial throttle because they can’t burn all the gas.
