wixee Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hello My 04 315 has been cutting out on me recently. Its always at the end of the ride on the way home, when i ride maybe a mile on the flat. It wont re-start if i try and kick it straight away so have to let it sit for a while then it seems to run fine. Today it did it about 3 times on the way home though and was running worse every time. I going to try and figure it out tomorrow but any tips would be a great help. Thanks wix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tt5th Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 That's a good call! I'm going to remember that one! If it's not that.... Is it just when the bike gets really hot? If so might be worth checking electrical things like the stator windings with a multimeter. I've had problems before with a knackered stator winding on a nother bike that only caused problems when the bike was hot, shouldn't happen on an 04 though and surely not on a honda engine! Does it run fine cold now? If not strip and clean the carb, clean the air filter and check the sparkplug isn't fouled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wixee Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Thanks for the tips, stupidly enough i'd kinked the fuel line putting the tank back on, so straightening that seems to have done the trick. Amazing what a bit of fuel will do for the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
