Yesterday was the first day I was unable to get it started back up right away. Usually I have to give the throttle a few twist while cranking it after it stalls to get it fired up.

 

Yeah, i would definately bet on the FPR. I bought my bike last summer and it ran perfect up until the fall just as the season was ending. I had the same symptoms you're having, the stalling and the hard to start (or lack of) and would start if i twisted the throttle. I JUST changed mine like 3 weeks ago, and it works perfect again.

 

Is there anyway to be sure its the fpr? Where did you get yours from?

Also if I let the bike idle too long it will bog down and stall. Almost like its flooding its self. When I retire it its extremely rich

 

One way to tell is if you remove the smaller of the 2 rubber lines that's attached to it, and there's either gas in the line, or you can smell gas. Either way, it's failed cuz there's only supposed to be air. And i bought mine from Honda, i got it a little cheaper from a dealer up here.

 

Alright guys I’m bringing this one back from the dead.

I got the bike up and running and it seemed to be all working fine.

Last week I replaced the FPR, plugs and cleaned the k and n filter.
Wednesday I filled her back up with brand new gas and took checked the charging system. With the bike running I got about 14v from the alt at 5000rpm. There was no continuity to ground on any of the three yellow wires. The R/R seemed to test fine. With the bike off I was only getting 1ma leak.
I got the battery at the beginning of the season. The battery shop sold me a battery that one size down from oem. They didn’t have the oem in stock and reassured me that it would work since it was an AGM battery.
I took her out after checking the charging system and she ran great. Took an 11 mile ride on the high way. Parked for about ten minutes then headed home. Everything was great. Parked it in the garage and was done.

Yesterday I got the bike out; it hadn't been on the tender since before I took it out wed. It started up great. Took the same ride, 11 miles down the highway. Parked for about half hour this time. Came back home it started fine and rode home fine until I got off the highway. When I got right off the highway I was sitting at the light with my blinker on and I noticed my gauges dimming badly. I kicked my brightes off and held the throttle a little to make sure it wasn’t going to die on me.

It was about a mile left to get to my house. I pulled in my driveway and turned the bike off. Went inside, took my gear off and came back out to pull it into the garage and the bike wouldn’t start.

What do you guys think? Battery too small? Alt since it only gave me 14v at 5000rmp or the R/R?

 

also its idle was more stable and it is no longer running rich since i did the tune up and fpr and fixed the exhaust.

 

Side note the r/r get very hot to the touch with in ten minutes of idle

 

Curious about this as well. I'll be changing out my FRP and Air Filter this weekend, but it seems like my R/R gets seriously hot sometimes too. Is that a sign of failing? I do have some stalling issues and bogging down in first issues, but I'm pretty sure that's the FPR.

 

Bump. Anyone have some opinions before I start buying parts blinded.
