my 01 f4i has 54000 miles i bought it from a friend in april having some problems now cuz i dont know what work he did to it b4 he left on a tour... heres the problem i start it up let it warm up kinda low idle but doesnt die take it down the street and go about 5 min down the road and stop at a stop light when i bring it below 1-2 rpms and let off the throttle it stalls and the light comes on then ill go to start it and it wont start unless i rip the throttle.. once it starts will ride a little more wont happen for a little wile then after about 15-20 min it will happen agiani just filled it with 93 and i used half a bottle of seafoam nothing has changed... no leaks or any loose wires any ideas thanks for any support

 

turn the idle up a little and see if that helps. With that many miles i would bank on needing valve adjustments though, or possibly fuel pressure regulator. the fpr could be causing it to flood out at low rpm. what kind of fuel economy are you getting?

 

gettn like 30-40 any chance u got a link to a place to order an fpr cuz the local shop wants like 80 figure i can get it cheaper online and i called the kid he said hes never had a valve adjustement how much will that run me

 

you can order a fpr from ronayers.com for $60 + shipping. But have you checked to see if its bad?

Might also call the PO and ask him when he last changed the spark plugs

 

There could be a lot of things. Check air filter,fpr,plugs,re-do idle and yea the worst doing is valve adjustment..time consuming

 

wile i got the $ just gonna change the fpr and the plugs
been messing with the idle and its still the same outcome took it out for a long ride today like 2 hours never happened came home and went to the store 30 min later and it did it again... i thought the 01 has 4 plugs but the guy at the shop is telln me its 6 any input... would like to know b4 i just take the tank and all that off thx for all the ideas

 

Yeah, I have some input: find a new shop

4 plugs

 

servicehonda.com beats ronayers and bikebandit handsdown in price. punch the shop guy in the mouth because he shouldnt be allowed to look at a bike much less work on it. If it hasnt had a valve adjustment and its at 50+k miles, thats where I would focus. My f4i had bad valves and it started acting up at 8k. Produced the exact same issues you describe. Buy or download the service manual and get you a set of feeler gauges. if your going to pay a shop find a reputable one but expect to spend a couple hundred at minimum.
