19fraser93 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 I have had my sinnis Apache stored in garage for last 2 month brought it out today to give it a wee run and it’s running rich and Smokey . Spoke to sinnis and they are going to look at it in mid February but guy said it could be cold still ? Will it do any damage trying to keep it running as it cuts out in gear and just dies ? Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Sounds like it's running too rich. Check nothing has got into the air filter and partially blocked it. If it's been laid up in a garage I've known mice get into things and cause problems. But running rich can wash lubrication off the bore and cylinder so it's best avoided if it so bad that it's cutting out. 1 Quote
WD-40 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Has it got a carb or fuel injection? Was the temperature cold? Quote
fastbob Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) I'm no expert on fuel injection but it wouldn't go amiss to squirt some injector cleaner through the intake . At least I assume that's what You're supposed to do with it . You also might want to make sure there are no loose connectors on anything that looks like a sensor . Failing that , there's nothing like a good thrash round the block a few times to blow away the cobwebs on a bike that's been stood idle for a while . If none of these suggestions work it's probably time to put some petrol in it . Edited January 27, 2021 by fastbob 1 Quote

I do know that injector cleaner exists so I'm guessing that it goes in the tank then . 1 Quote

TimR Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 If it cuts out as soon as it goes into gear i would look at the side stand switch and give it a good lubrication and manipulation 2 1 Quote

It actually might just need the tab that operates the switch bending a little . 1 Quote

19fraser93 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 It’s one of they ones I have been told to give it a good boot to get the fuel flowing well etc again but I can’t even get out of first gear and am worried I am going to eventually do more Damage to it Quote

It’s fuel injection and the bike was cold but temperature outside wasn’t bad . Bike has been sitting for a while not moved ?? Any help be magic Quote

I would drain out the tank and put in some fresh fuel, and give it a few minutes to warm up then ride around, if it still cuts out in first use second gear. 1 Quote
WD-40 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I'd take the spark plug out. Inspect it and clean it. Charge the battery. Put some fresh fuel in. See if it goes with that. 1 Quote

I’ve got it going now think it’s was just a little cold the engine management light is on but was told buy the garage that shouldn’t be a massive problem should be fine , the garage got it booked in for service in two weeks so will let them change plug and il try some fresh fuel in it 1 Quote
19fraser93 Posted February 4, 2021 Author Posted February 4, 2021 Back at it again now it’s Ideling at 4000 rpm any ideas what could be causing this and is it’s bad for the bike . Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Check the throttle cable(s) aren't sticking. Have you done anything that might cause an air leak on the intake? Quote
19fraser93 Posted February 6, 2021 Author Posted February 6, 2021 They look to be fine from what I can see and no the bikes only 6 month old done2000 miles can’t think what’s causing it Quote
sambateman91 Posted December 18, 2022 Posted December 18, 2022 I currently have the same issue in gear 3 and 4 with my sinnis apache 2019 and have no idea why it's doing it, only happens when I go to accelerate really quickly then coughs and splutters and goes to cut out if I don't change down a gear and keep it in high revs it just dies and struggles to start back up any ideas much appreciated Quote
Liam rowbotham Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) I’ve got a sinnis Apache 125 but having trouble with it revving to high it’s revving between 3 to 4 thousand revs and then putting it into first gear it bogs out its fuel injected but the engine management light stay on but not sure if it could be the kick sand switch faulty or to much fuel going to the carb or air Edited July 18, 2023 by Liam rowbotham Problem with bike Quote

If its fuel injection it doesn't have a carb. Quote
Liam rowbotham Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Engine management light stays on solid it revs up high first time but once you turn it off and on again it’s fine on second go Quote
