Why does my motorcycle stall after it warms up?

The motorcycle engine often stalls at idle after warm up. And the problem is often worse on a hot day. The dreaded stalling issue when the engine is warm is the most common idle problem and it is mostly related to the very lean air/fuel ratio on the modern fuel injected motorcycle engine.

How do I stop my bike from overheating?

To prevent a motorcycle engine from overheating, you will need to keep up with basic maintenance of the motorcycle such as regular oil changes and having proper coolant levels (for water cooled motorcycles). Make sure the idle screw on the carburetor is at a decent spot so the motorcycle does not maintain a high idle.

What happens when a bike overheats?

Why does my bike engine overheat?

A lean running engine has an air/fuel ratio that has too little fuel and too much air in the mixture. When this happens, the combustion in the chamber can be too slow to ignite, prolonging the combustion cycle and causing the exhaust side of the combustion chamber to heat up too much.

Why does my motorcycle keep stalling?

A stall happens when there is insufficient power being fed from the engine to the rear wheel to get it moving or keep your bike rolling. Once you’re moving it’s all about balancing the usable revs of the engine with your bike’s speed, and remembering to pull in the clutch when you come to a stop!

Why does my bike turn off when I stop?

Your air fuel mixture is lean and thus it stops when slowed down. This can be checked easily at a local bike service repair shop. Ask them to check AFR(air fuel ratio). You are riding slow at higher gears, To avoid this one need to change his/her riding habits.

What are 10 common causes of overheating in bike?

Let us look at these causes one by one in detail.

• #1 Lean Air-Fuel Mixture.
• #2 Low Oil Level or Poor-Quality Engine Oil.
• #3 Low Quality of Coolant Constituents.
• #4 Leaks in Radiator.

• #6 Damaged Thermostat.
• #7 Stressed Engine.

How do I cool down my bike engine?

You may have excess slack on the throttle cable where it is connected to the carburetor. This in turn will lessen it’s ability to open the butterfly valve because it’s not giving it a full pull. You will have an uneven air and fuel mix which will cause your motorcycle to lose power when accelerating.

Why does my bike’s engine stop when I slow down?

You bike’s Idle RPM is lower than minimum thus engine stops. You can easily change it by rotating a lever usually placed near the fuel pipe inlet on the right side. (could be at a different location in your bike). Your air fuel mixture is lean and thus it stops when slowed down. This can be checked easily at a local bike service repair shop.

Temperature of bike doesn’t seem to make difference and neither does fuel level. Two or three times it has shut off long enough for me to coast to side of road and re-start WITHOUT cycling run/off switch–I just hit start. Last time was in middle of intersection when I was starting from stop.

Why is my bike running slow at higher gears?

You are riding slow at higher gears, To avoid this one need to change his/her riding habits. There are other reasons also, like accidentally you fuel tank has got some amount of water in it, you carburetor or fuel injection(FI) passage is not clear. Check these also at local bike service repair shop.

Does a motorcycle lose electrical when it shuts off?

It would shut off long enough to startle me and then kick back in before I could get to side of road. It does NOT lose electrical when this happens so it is NOT the main circuit breaker which has been updated. Temperature of bike doesn’t seem to make difference and neither does fuel level.
