problems with suzuki burgman 125 cutting out

[janthepan]

Hi I have a Suzuki 125 burgman which I love to bits.
But, it has this terrible habit of whilst riding coughing then cutting out on me in the most stupidest and dangerous places and then won't start .
I have taken it back to the dealers numerous times but apart from sticking a new carb on it with heaters ( which seemed to work for a little while they can't find anything wrong.
Can anyone suggest what it might be as the bike's back with them at the moment and I'm missing it.
Cheers , jan the pan.

Hi

A carb heater normally fixes carb icing, which you can get in cold damp weather. Check it is still working. Another fix for the same problem is a fuel additive. There are a few around, so try one of those and see if that fixes the problem.

All the best

Have you made any modifications to it?

I think water was getting in when mine was doing that.

Thank you for your help the dealer seems to think that it needs a new seal in the carb just waiting for suzuki to ok and to see if any thing else needs up dating.Any suggestion as to what are the best additives.

Never tried any, but plenty of people say to use Silkolene FST (think). Also I think VW dealers will sell a fairly decent one.

All the best
