Bike still giving me problems!!!
Okay, so I posted a bit earlier how my bike wasn't starting... Long story short, I drove it up until winter, never started it in winter and couldn't start it a couple weeks back! Now to catch up! I put the spark plugs in yesterday, got a new battery, changed the air filter and it started up yesterday!
I would let it run for a minute, but then the idle kept spiking down acting like it wanted to die, and eventually it would die. Now it won't start. I dumped the old gas out and put about two gallons of no-ethonal gas in it... I really don't think it's anything serious but something I can't quite figure out.. I thought about dumping some of that crap(whatever its called) in the gas tank to clean the fuel injectors out. I don't know what would be causing this, but if you oh so awesome-techs could help me out, that would be greatful!!!!
Thanks guys

what bike is it?
do you have a petcock valve on it?
It sounds like its just running out of gas. If the carbs are full, it will run for around a minute until the gas is used up. And, it will stall just as you described, the idle will get lower as each carb starts to run out of gas, then it will sound odd and then just die.
Of course, you mentioned fuel injectors, so that would rule that one out if your bike is fuel injected.
If you could say what bike it is, it would help others diagnosis it for ya.

hey ya he said it was real boggy and it was the fuel filter...um on my 96 F3 it is under the seat on the left side ( if you were sitting on the bike), black cylinder looking right next to the gas on, off, reserve, ****. wouldnt think they would change it but i would have no idea haha good luck Dilan

I believe the only filter on there is the one inside the tank. there is a screen on the fuel pump pickup that acts as the filter.
As for your issue, I wonder if you might have a problem with the Fuel Pressure Regulator. The problem that usually arises with the FPR's is they will allow too much pressure and dump too much gas in the engine, which could stall it out. I don't know of a good way to check though. I know if you pull the vaccum line off and there is gas inside the line, the FPR is bad. Im sure there is a way to test the ohm resistance of it, but Im not sure what it is.
This was a common problem on the F4i's for some time. Im not sure its a common problem with the 600RR, but it could be something to look into.
