Conversely, I have to agree with Cavi's earlier thoughts instead of Serowbot -- the gas went from full to just about full to just about empty -- instantly as needed. The petcock went (first part of first previous thread) from Raptor over to stock petcock & Prime position then over to "I don't know what I've got" when the pictures were required.

I guess "I don't know what I've got" and "I don't know how to fill up a gas tank" is supposed to excuse everything, you see.

Serowbot has accepted this explanation and will now be mulleted back & forth endlessly because ANYTHING can be changed at will now and can be excused by "I don't know what I've got" & "I don't know how to do that".

Suggestion: Make him show pictures and correctly name his pieces before giving him any instructional thread to read.

Then make him ask questions based on the new understanding gained from the instructional thread. If his excuse is he doesn't know anything, then he has some work to do to get knowledgeable enough to run a motorcycle.

================

So, the entertainment continues unabated. Pop a beer, get your popcorn bowl and pull up your comfy Barca-lounger -- this will be a long one as a brand new moderator gets broken in the hard way.

You see, I own a Raptor as do about half of us now-a-days and we all are sitting here knowing full well his pics don't show any kinks in his hose and a Raptor simply can't do what he says it was doing.

Tell him to put some gas in his gas tank and try again .....

Bike starts up, dies, then fails to stay on?!?!?!
Reply #76 - 12/05/12 at 12:39:59

Hey everyone, this is a continuation of my last post about a week ago, i just took some pics like I was advised. Pretty much for everyone who doesnt know, My bike started dieing on me almost everytime i released the throttle all the way, like as if i was shifting to a lower gear or coming to a stop light. After dying, the bike wont start for another 10-15 min. After starting, it will stay on while in neutral but once i get back on the road and start shifting gears and down shifting, its like it runs outa gas and sputters out. The bike does have gas, and the idol has been raised so it idols higher. Started it up this mornign pulled out the black knob like i always do for a cold start, started right up, after a feww minutes, i pushed in the black knob cause it was getting warmed up and the bike died. Its happend before and it always starts back up but this time it didnt, so like i was told previously, it could be a petcock issue so i took pics and the petcock looks fine to me, does anyone see anything out of the ordinary??

If you need help with a mechanical problem... Ask your question in the Rubberside section...
We will need to know a bit about your bike, and you...
Year, Miles, modifications that apply to the problem.
Your mechanical experience, and let us know if English is not your first language...
Where you are located is helpful, too...
Also,...
What was done just before the bike started acting up, including filling up with gas.

Symptoms?
Ran fine for months, now it won't start, cuts out at speed, or what?

if its a clutch problem, what oil is in it?

1... Clymers has errors... Suzuki/Clymer Manual Errors

2... Owners will sell a bike rather than do maitenance... Cam Chain Adjuster check

3... Lot's of info in the tech section. The link is in my sig where the orange is pointing. Control F will help you find what you're looking for.

4... Don't ask about oil, not even where it goes. Especially not to bill.

Reply #82 - 12/05/12 at 13:43:51 How are the valve clearances ? a tight valve will do nearly what you described. Except you can rev it and keep it running. Let it idle and it will die when hot. Cool.

Lets see!! 2001 ls650 with 19000 on it. Only mod done is an aftermarket air horn. I usually talk under the screen name robquarantello but I'm on my brothers today. No mechanical experience except being addicted to tools and a general knowledge regarding mechanics. I rode the bike about 40 miles before it cut out on me while going 50 mph. I had just refueled with refusal gas and only up to 3/4 tank. Oil was changed 1 month ago with proper oil. I just forget the grade

You are leaving out some Mods like the raptor and the chain drive.

O yes sry, I just wrote what I did. It is chain driven and from what I've been told also had a raptor. The bike may have other mods but I'm not knowledgeable enough to notice then if they aren't an obvious mod. Pretty much I think that is it. I have not messed with the head cap. I cleaned up the residue and the bike leak seems to drip so little that it doesn't bother me. I think the previous owner never cleaned the bike so it looked like a worse leak than it really wad
