#186754 joker_13 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 100 Heeeelp 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Well I let my bike sit longer than I planned on. So I finally got around to draining the old gas out. Put in new gas, bought a battery. I got it started after a while, now it is finally idiling smooth, but his hesitating/sputtering a little when I give it gas???? Also what would cause it to just die/cut out when I put it in gear. I even had it reved up a bit and every single time I put it in gear...it just shuts down. same as if I were to hit the kill switch. Its an '01 Yamaha Roadstar Thanks in advance for your help.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/04/20 12:29 By joker_13.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #186757 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Heeeelp 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Are you putting it in gear with the kick stand down? Might want to run a couple tanks of gas with Seafoam in to clean things out.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #186759 joker_13 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 100 Re:Heeeelp 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Musky wrote: Are you putting it in gear with the kick stand down?

Moderator Posts: 3508 Re:Heeeelp 3 Years, 1 Month ago   You can get seafoam from any autoparts store like Autozone or Napa Just use about 3 or 4 capfulls in a full tank. Next time you store your bike put "Stabil" in the tank to stop the gas from going bad. Have fun!
