Hey guys,
I started having this problem today. My 2003 600 F4i will start fine and act completely normal until the engine gets warm and I pull in the clutch to stop at a light and then the engine dies. The bike has been sitting for a little over 2 weeks with some race gas/93 octane in the tank ( I mention this because I did here it was bad to leave race gas in the tank but I figured it was such a small amount that it would not do anything). I was told that I might have bad gas but I find it hard to believe because the bike ran fine before it was parked. I thought maybe somebody might have turned the idle all the way down on me but then I realized that it starts and runs fine until the bike warms up. Could this be a bad temperature switch? I should also mention that the bike does have a full Micron Serpent System exhaust and a PCIII programable Power Commander. I have questioned if the temperature switch was working properly for a while now because the radiator fan does not kick on until the gauge reads around 225 degrees and I thought it was supposed to come on arround 210 degrees. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks alot!!!
