I had a rev 3 that acted like that as the stator failed. It seemed exactly like a carb issue. Possibly it did not produce enough voltage as the compression pressure went up. It started out intermittent and got worse.
Bike was running great before this and nothing has been done maintenance wise that would cause it. Wanted to try did but don't know anyone with the same bike.
I think you have the last year of the “trigger coil” type ignitions but I’m not inclined to think that’s the problem as bikes with that issue were a real pain to start and when they ran they didn’t just cut out but ran crappy. Is it bogging down on opening the throttle or just dying? If you close the throttle before it stops completely does it come back and idle?
Hi Dan. When I start to add revs it might get 3 to 4 blips then dies. If throttle is released it still dies. It takes 3 to 4 kicks to start again and will tick over but dies again with revs. Tried a handful too, but dies quicker.
Looking for help on the cutting out issue on my Beta 290. Bike starts, ticks over no problem, as soon as throttle is added the bike cuts out. This sounds like fuel problem but I have swapped the carb out with no resolution, I also used a catch tank and isolated the fuel tank and the problem is till there.
I have been advised it could be a CDI issue. If anyone has any advise this would be much appreciated
