Many of you know, I'm as technical as a bottle of chips.

Just started the NSR with the choke on. Revs rose to about 4k, then suddenly dropped off and the bike stalled.

Started it again and the same happened.

Any ideas?

How long is it taking before it stalls? Does it go stright to 4 thou, and or do you put the choke in when its running??

I start it with the choke on.

Heads to 4k odd revs, stays there for a few seconds then falls off Confused

I get that sometimes, I figure it because i don't ride the bike for long enough and its just oil getting built up on plug. I just start it give it some, for a minute and it runs pretty well after that till it warms up then it runs fine.

Oh and leave it running a minute before I turn it off and i figure it burns off any excess oil on the plug left from frapping it about.

Please dont flame me if im wrong but it does the trick with my bike.

Best of luck.

Hi

Running out of petrol? Water in the fuel?

All the best

Put a fresh tank in on Wednesday, same with 2stroke oil. Last time I used it.

Had an inkling it could be the spark plug, but I don't have a spark plug tool...

Your breather's probably blocked. Or water in the petrol like Keith said. Don't think you're running out of fuel, a carb full will last more than a few seconds.

Just start it and as the revs start to drop give it a rev to clear it out. Rev it for a few seconds (not too much just flick the throttle a bit) and then see if it idles. The nsr is supposed to rev up to 4000rpm then drop back down and idle with the choke on, that is quite normal. Thumbs Up

The NSR is known to be very easy to flood. As you start it, give it a little choke (hold it open slightly with your hand). Once it's started, release the choke, listen to the revs, and keep opening the choke slightly and closing it again until the bike ticks over on its own.

Hope this helps

You shouldn't have to fuss with the choke so much though. You should open it and leave it open until the bike has warmed a bit. Then close it off when the bike will run without it. It's important to flick the throttle now and then to get it ready to ride.
