2004 Bike Stalls After about 5 Miles
Posted: Sat Sep 10, 2005 6:34 am
I just turned 8000 miles and had the 8000 mile service conpleted. The mechanic said that two of the spark plugs were really black. It seems they might not be getting enough power.
When the bike is cold and I first start the engine everything runs great. After about 5-10 miles the bike will start bucking a bit but will still run like a champ. When I come to a stop and pull the clutch in the bike stalls out. I can start it back up but I have to rev it up a bit to keep it from stalling until I get moving.
The bike itself only shows about 150-200 on the heat gage so I don't believe it is the bike over heating.
Someone mentioned there may be a magnetic coil which sends power to the spark plugs. When the coil heats up it stops sending enough power to the plug to keep the bike from stalling.
The bike shop I go to said "Uh, I don't know???".
