Guest Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Hi there I am new to bikes--My 125 was going great --parked it up for one day. Now it stalls every time I let the clutch out regardless of what gear it is in. Any help please? Quote
cyberwolf Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 what bike is it some 125 you have to give alot of revs to pull of Quote
Guest David Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Can you push the bike when it isnt in gear?Can you push the bike with the bike in first gear and the clutch in? Quote
Guest philgale Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 no idea about the bike apart form give it more revs....but welcome to the forum....jump in newbies and say hello there... Quote
Guest Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 The bike seems to go into any gear ok and will push with the clutch in. I have given big time revs. If I slip the clutch in and out the bike moves as soon as I release the clutch it stalls. Quote
Guest David Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Can you push it forward in a high gear with the clutch out?What bike is it? Quote
Guest Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Can you push it forward in a high gear with the clutch out?What bike is it? Hi --I can its hard but I can feel the engine turn-if I depress the clutch it turns freely--its a kawasaki eliminator Quote
cyberwolf Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 the 125 i use to have years ago i had to rev at about 6000 rpm just to pull off Quote
Guest David Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Just wanted to make sure that nothing was physically stopping it.What type of bike is it?I'm not to sure where to go with this now, has the bike been running ok recently? Quote

Hi there--The bike has been running fine with no indication of any problems. I simply parked it up -went to take it out and this problem was there. Thanks for your help though.Its a 125 cruiser type.Its a strange fault. Quote
cyberwolf Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 have you check the cutout switch on the sidestand that could be sticking on Quote
Guest David Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Only thing I can suggest is to check things like spark plug, filter.It does seem strange as from your posts it sounds like its starting and running ok.The main issues I ever had with 50's and 125's were things like spark plugs breaking down or getting clogged up although this would cause starting issues. The only other thing was head gaskets going on air cooled 50's and I had one once with the symptoms youre describing. It would run but not pull its own weight.Suggest you get the bike model and try a google search with the model and symptoms and see if any thing turns up.David Quote
Guest David Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 have you check the cutout switch on the sidestand that could be sticking on Thats an idea Paul, hard to tell with out knowing the bike model Quote
cyberwolf Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 have you check the cutout switch on the sidestand that could be sticking on Thats an idea Paul, hard to tell with out knowing the bike model its a kawasaki eliminator iv found that kawasaki cutout switch can stick on them im always having that problem Quote
Guest Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) have you check the cutout switch on the sidestand that could be sticking on Hi thanks for your help--cutout switch? where abouts is this and what can I do to unstick it. Would the bike start if the switch was sticking? Just found what must be the switch. Is there a way of by passing this to see if it is the switch? Edited January 16, 2008 by Anonymous Quote
cyberwolf Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 you found a push button switch at the top of the stand on the right hand side of the stand i use wd40 to clean it you well need someone to hold the bike as you cant clean it with the stand down. Quote
cyberwolf Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 if the no switch on the right check at the back of the stand Quote
Guest Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Check if there's a cut out switch on the side stand. My 250 has a switch linked to the side stand........if i try to release the clutch and the side stand is down the engine cuts out.........If you've got similar it could be a fault thereMine's also a kawasaki so maybe similar???????

Guest Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 ooooooooooooooooooops i really should read all threads before jumping in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

I think you are right about the switch--I did not know there was one untill you told me. I am going to try and sort it out.Thanks very much as I was very worried about it. Quote
