Bike is cutting out on me

[Ardontini]

This is the first day i fired my bike up in about a months time, and rode it to the shop today. I needed a new front tire, so i started to warm up the damn bike and it took damn near an hour to let me hit the throttle before it cut out again. It stoped on me in gear twice on the way to the shop and twice coming back. The guy at the shop said i should run all that old gas out of it and try some fuel filter and good gas. What do yall think i should do, because it ran fine a month ago.

what the guy at the shop said. my bike did the same, i ran a gallon of racegas once i got all the old gas out of it, put in a fuel filter, and it ran just fine after that

no love to the bike...no love to the rider.

you should put that fuel additive.....for bikes that sit too long. don't remember what it's called though. also if you have a carburated bike....letting it sit too long is not a very good idea.

Sta-bil

[MACK]

yeah

Put some Stabil, a water dispersant / octane booster and some fresh gas. Unless your carbs are stopped up it should fix it.

pat is right,, my bike just cut off today because of the bad gas going around..

damn, it was pissing me off very much, i want to get that gas out of my tank cause i have a full one now, ill get some of that stabil stuff tomorrow at autozone if they have it, then test it out with some good fresh gas. Problem is i need to the current crap out of my tank.

if neccesary, get a cheap fuel transfer pump from autozone ( plastic hand pumps are like 10-15 bucks i think. ) or just pull the tank.

bad gas sucks, there was a thread on here a while back talking about the new ethanol ( i think ) in gas. It tends to seperate after a few days of sitting and can cause problems.
