ginge511 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Hi all.Well, I've had this new rs 125 bike for 2 days.Went for a spin this morning and suddenly it cut out.Pulled over, after about 5 mins it restarted, got going again and it done it again, I'm like ffs, as you could imagine.It done it another 2 times before gladly i got home.To get it restarted i had to purt the choke on, even though it was fully warmed up like 60 before i set off.Got home and went for a spin round the block, it done it again, so i put it on reserve and it fired straight up.Could it simply be a fuel problem, like a bit of crap stuck in the tank blocking the fuel from getting around?As in reserve it seems fine.Hope someone can help me out?Thanks Quote

Pete Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Dodgy petcock? Get the tank off and inspect the petcock if you have one. Also check the vacuum hose on the tank. Quote
