Got soaked ridin home... Just Got caught about 10 mins from the house.

 

Gettin me a daily finally! haha Although having a bike only doesnt bother me. Some AC and being able to pick people up will be nice.

 

That looks so sick with those race plastics on. Don't paint them!!!

 

i highly suggest if you have never lived outside the US, to do so
it is awesome

 

So, was gonna go for a ride with my g/f this evening. She has a 2005 Yamaha V-Star 650. She pulled the choke and started it up. All good. She hops on and kills the choke and the bike dies. Does this four or five times. Checked and it has gas. No clue on could be wrong with it, she recently had the carbs done at Cycle World (read: early this year like Feb/March). Before we take it back to the shop, I'd like to see if 1) There's an easy fix, 2) Someone wants to take a look at it for cheap for us.

Thanks for any suggestions/help.

 

How long has it been since it was list ridden? This typically points at clogged pilot/slow jets. My bike was the same, started up fine and ran on the choke, turn off the choke and it dies. Cleaned the carbs and it was a happy bike again.

 

It'd been like two or three weeks.

 

Does it have a fuel filter on it from the tank? Possibly had some bad gas in it? If it only runs on choke it's almost always the carb's being dirty.
