Shutting off......pleaase help
01/04/09 at 19:02:04
I am the proud owner of a 2001 with 8500 miles, I'm running a gutted dyna muffler and I rejetted the carb properly (lancer's kit
).
Make no mistakes my little savage runs like a bat out of hell and idles really smooth at around 1200rpm , but If I apply the brake hard while running ( like when you see the traffic light changing from green to yellow) it bogs down and shuts off.
Any ideas (It's been doing this since the time I bought it about a year ago).
Thanks for your help.

you gotta turn in your idle mixture screw. You are definitely idling to low. Used to happen to me. Especially on cold mornings.

If you don't have access to a tach, have a shop set it.
Should be in the 1100 to 1200 rpm range when warmed up. The engine is a low oil pressure engine (7-10 psig @3000 rpm) so too low on the idle is not too good, even though it sounds cool.

Pull in clutch
Does sound like your idle is just abit low, not uncommon for the rpms to drop 2 or 300 upon a sudden shut off.

I used to kill mine the same way. Raised the idle & now I can make it stumble a little sometimes. Maybe I need to jack the idle up more? Pretty sure its over 1000RPM, but havent used a tach.

Well if you're gonna use the same terms for both sides you're gonna confuse the newby
Right side, pilot mixture screw (for the Kapows)
Left side, idle speed screw (thumb knob for rpm)

I drilled and pulled out the brass plug recently and adjusted the idle mix screw and
I suggest you cover the starter and any nooks where the brass shavings will fall.

Did I read this post correctly?
If I was jammin toward a signal that changed suddenly and I jumped the brakes without pulling the clutch in.... I would EXPECT the engine to bog and stall same as any other vehicle that uses a clutch for engagement....

When I apply the brakes I also pull the clutch in ,but the bike kind of hesitates, bogs down and dies.

But only does this on rapid stop? - could be a float level issue....
on the idle - if you do not have a tach (although you do mention 1200 rpm) a reasonable way to get it fairly close on this pair of mine
- one with a tach one with out - is to watch the head light - if it dims at idle your too low - rev a bit a couple times and let it idle down up the idle a bit until the light stays the same
right/left? depends on where your standing - port and starboard is the light and the way
