Default Bike is stalling on me.

Went for a ride today, everything was fine, had a great day. Stopped off at work to check ona few things, took me about 1/2 an hour.

Went to fire my bike up an it wouldn't start up. It was still warm so I thought that was odd. Tried to fire it up again while giving it a little throttle, and she started up. As soon as I let of the throttle, she died. Started he again with a little throttle, and again fired up, I maintained enough throttle to keep her going for a minute or so. As soon as I let off she died. Fired her back up and was able to get ride her back home, but had to make sure I gave her enough gas to keep running. Let off to much at one stoplight, and she died.

Died again when I pulled into my carport.

Any idea what is goin on?

Thanks!!

Have you tried adjusting the tickover. The adjusters have a slight tendency to adjust themselves downwards, especially if you made an adjustment recently. Always make the final adjustment upwards to ensure tension on the screw.
If it's not that, check for air leaks.

Thanks for the reply!

Turns out that the idle adjustment managed to work it's way loose. Got it threaded back in and I'm good to go.

Thanks again!!
