Freakman Neutral Newbie September 9, 2007 Share September 9, 2007 hi there, i know some of you ride bike, so now got a problem here: my friend recently bought a new Superfour spec III model, and after using it for 5 days, his got problem with his bike. The bike dies off suddenly at traffic light, then unable to start. it only able to ignite after using the choke, but once it push back to choke, the bike dies off again. a) petrol is full, b) no leakage whatsoever, c) all seems in proper , d) even in choke position, once he increase the throttle, it dies off also. so any bros here got any idea why this is happening?? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enotsol Neutral Newbie September 9, 2007 Share September 9, 2007 Sounds like the tuning is too rich. Re-tune the bike and maybe do a valve adjustment at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batliwala Neutral Newbie September 10, 2007 Share September 10, 2007 looks like the idling speed is set too low or the rectifier/ignition coil has fried up. Normally in the old bikes with the light switch on/off you can test for voltage drop.What is the voltage on battery? you can easily check with multimeter/voltmeter fixed on bike. I have never used chokes on my CB400/CBR400RR even for cold start in Singapore. It is not necessary in Singapore climate. Yep ask your friend to post in the SBF forum....more people to help you. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
