the other day when i was riding i noticed that the temp gauge was jumping up and down. when i tested the gauge with the steps by the manual everything comes out fine. it still jumps a lot. also my bike struggles to stay on. when i stop at a light after riding for a while the bikes rpm's drop and it shuts off. just today when riding i was braking and had the clutch held in and it shut off on me. [:@] i remember one day i put too much oil in and didnt realize it until i had been riding for about an hour. that day was the first time the bike decided to shut off on me. i have since drained some of the oil and the problem is still occurring. can anyone help me. what should i look at or for? oh yeah one more thing. while i was on the highway going about 65-70mph the bike started jerking like if i was going on and off the trottle. any thoughts?

 

Pull your plugs.Therein lies the truth.

 

For the jerking... prolly running out of gas? Till you turn your pet **** valve which gives you gas to reach a gas station. As for the excessive oil... maybe it could be leaking into the cylinders and causing your bike to run like ****. But in any case, if your bike does idle low enought it could shut off. So just adjust the idle link that's just under your pet **** valve. Should solve that idle/shut off problem you have in neutral and with the clutch held down.
