Why does my motorcycle pop when I turn it off?
When your mixture ratio is off, you get excess fuel that was not ignited in the cylinder. This is then expelled with the burnt fuel exhaust. When this unburnt fuel comes in contact with the hot pipes, it ignites and causes that distinct popping noise.
Why is my motorcycle shooting flames?
When you are getting too much air and not enough fuel in your cylinder this is called running lean. So when there’s way too much air then sometimes the fuel won’t combust. Then as soon as the exhaust valve opens and the air/fuel mixture hits the hot exhaust header, the fuel ignites and makes the loud bang sound.
What should I do if my motorcycle won’t start?
How to fix it: There is only one fuse that can affect the starting of a motorcycle. Every motorcycle usually has a main fuse which is between 30 to 50 amps (occasionally some bikes will have 20 amps). It is usually located off of the positive battery wire.

What to do if your bike won’t run without a choke?
Normally you would keep it on (closed) until the engine warms up and then turn it off (open). If it really won’t run without the choke being closed/on then it’s not getting enough fuel and the carbs probably need cleaning.

Rode fine that day. The next time I rode was a 5 days later. Beautiful 75 degrees out and after about half hour riding it died out in 2nd gear. Couldn’t start it up. I went and bought a new battery immediately at the Auto Zone and rode for half hour. The bike died out on me while in 4th gear.
What’s the problem with my bike not starting?
Bike won’t start, battery is fine I just joined the sight because I really need some help. I am a first time owner and have a 2005 Suzuki GSX600F Katana with 12,000 miles. It has been good to me besides recently. I started it up a few days ago, went to put it in first gear from neutral and it shut off. It would not start up there after.
What did my bike die at a red light?
When I got off the highway and stoped at a red light it died while idling. Again I ran and popped it in first gear and got it started. Made it home. I put a new battery in around January and had it on a battery tender the whole time so I’m ruling out the battery. Anyone got any thoughts. Sorry, I’m not trying to hijack your thread guptin.
Do you have a Kill Switch on your bike?
Thanks. Well its a safe bet you do have a kill switch, you can check to see if you did knock it to the off position. And, if you did while it was running, you may have also flooded the engine. Its a newer bike so that probably wouldn’t affect the spark plugs much.
