    wont idle

    have a wierd issue

    havent ran the bike for awhile 6 months went for a ride stopped to eat and parked at steep incline , then ready to go I brought it level and cranked it immediately died cranked a few more times while throttling, and was able to take off, noticed I was low on fuel, went about 5 miles orange light came and immediately died thank goodnees I was at the station, drifted up to the pump with no power, would crank but not even run while throttling

    filled up tank no idle but runs with throttle

    went straight home ran a few lights cause it would die every time a throtled down

    checked codes nothing

    any suggestions?


    filled up with gas still

    Hey man


    Sounds like some settlement dirt etc

    Put a can of injector cleaner and take it for a naive ride.


    if you had a vacume leak it would be popping
