Why does my bike die when given the slightest?
This is a classic and very obvious clogged pilot jet. If you can start and idle fine, but slowly rolling on the throttle bogs/dies, that’s the culprit. If you can make it through the bog and then it suddenly roars to life, that’s also a really big confirmation as well. See my reply to the other comment for a more detailed explanation.

What does suicide throttle mean on a bike?
Never ride such a bike – they call that a “suicide throttle” for a reason. It’s also a wise idea to get in the habit of checking now and again to see that your throttle isn’t affected when you turn the handlebars completely from side to side. The clutch cable is far sneakier and creeps into your perception as perceived clutch slippage.
Why does my engine die at full throttle?
If the exhaust port, muffler, or spark arrested does become plugged with carbon, the exhaust gases can’t exit the engine. This can result in your engine dying at full throttle. These deposits can build up over time, so it is recommended that you clean your muffler/spark arrestor during routine maintenance.
Why does my bike die when I give it throttle?
I put fresh gas in it and kicked it over and let it run at idle for about 10 minutes. After I let it warm up, I gave it some throttle and it dies on me. It seems to idle fine but whenever I give it the smallest amount of throttle is dies on me. Any ideas what’s causing it?
What to do if your bike Idles but bogs with throttle?
I will look during tomorrow times. If it idles fine but it bogs down with throttle, your high speed gas jet is probably clogged. Clean your carb and spray carb cleaner in all small passages, make sure air can flow through all ports no matter how small. Put it back together and it should run great.
What causes a bike to stall at idle?
The slightest air leak would upset idle mixture and cause stalling or high idle speed that cannot be adjusted with the throttle stop screw. I’d look at some simple stuff first, like the spark plug – which might fire OK at idle, but misfires under throttle?
Why does my bike bog down at a stop light?
Sign up in 3 seconds using Facebook, Gmail or an Email Address ! Idles fine, but bogs with throttle. This engine is nothing but trouble, I swear. A while back I had this same problem – riding the bike just fine, came to a stop light, and when I tried to pull away and give it some gas, it bogged down and barely sputtered along.
