Kelum Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Hello people... Been several days now...mostly when I ride at 5th...say my bike speeds at 50kmph...suddenly it slows down just like gas throttle shuts and cuts off fuel flow..it slows a bit and again starts to run normally..this happens few times normally..this happens when I dont shift gears. It happens even in low gears..but doesnt seem to affect much..bike suddenly slows down and in few second it becomes normal.. I wonder if clutch cable is loose or something..May be throttle cable...hope it is not a huge engine issue..can someone help? Can someone guide me on this? I recently bought this bike so dont know what is going on...dont know what damage is within...but I wanna get all the issues fixed by and by... Thanks in advance... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christofeser Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Check your fuel tap, what's it on? It may be on prime and therefore not enough fuel is getting through to shifting gears? I find a similar effect when I shift down with LOW petrol, you checked your gas? Sometimes it can just be when I'm running REALLY low buy still got gas left :S. You checked your fuel? It could also be a fuel blockage. These are just my presumptions and are in no way correct, so please can someone correct me if I'm misinformed?

Chris The lever is in ON position and I think its quite ok, I didnt play with it anyway so it's in correct position I guess. Could you explain me what PRI and RES positions are and which is the best position? Petrol level is ok..there's no pro with it... I see some CHOKE like thing at the right air filter of the bike, it has this black plastic lever on which some throttle like sign is..a cable runs towards fuel lines from it...is this the CHOKE? I think I accidentally played with it so I have screwed it all up? Also someone here told me the extra frontward button at the left of the handle is the Flash button..what does it flash? I pressed it while riding but nothing happens..is it for the high beam? how can I get it fixed..? Thanks chris! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christofeser Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Right im not sure if it is the choke or not. I'll have a look around, the choke on the dragstar is on the left controls. As far as that is you'd know if you'd messed with the choke you'd realise it. Not sure if it would cause the problem as described. It also sometimes happens to me when the bike hasnt warmed up properly yet??? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
