hi all,
not totally sure whats going on, but today as I left for school, I get about 2 blocks and the engine starts sputtering, if I give it any gas it stalls.
So I pull over and check the choke is off, and switch to reserve.
This seems to help long enough for me to get on the highway to head for a gas station, but a mile down the road it starts doing it on reserve too.
I manage to cut off at an offramp, but the bike dies halfway up the ramp.
I managed to get the bike running by opening the choke to get the RPM's up, and then coasted with my 4 ways on the 2 miles to the gas station. It stalled a few times along the way..
So I figure it must be bad gas in the reserve tank or something, so I top it up, but same problem, not quite as bad, but I still had to have the choke open halfway to ride or it would stall.
I managed to get home, but this sucks
Might be bad fuel still, but I don't wanna ride around with the choke on until it clears out.
Bike is still under warranty, might just have the shop look at it.
It ran fine all last week, right until this morning... weird..
