Bike starting then stalling
Just as the title says, I was able to start the bike this morning no problem. I let it idle for a few with the choke on, and then took off. It stalled about 30 feet from my house and just popped a lot. I noticed some popping the other day and just shrugged it off because I thought I didn't idle it long enough. Anyway, I tried starting it again without the choke and it started then stalled immediately. I then waited for a few minutes and tried again. Now it didn't even start. I tried with the choke and same result. I walked it back to my house and let it sit for about 10-15 mins and tried starting w/o choke. Nada, then with and it would start and idle no problem. Then when I went to get on it it went to a low idle and it popped a couple times.
I'm about to try some fresh gas when I get back from class, but I don't think that explains the popping.. Any thoughts?

Sounds almost exactly like a clogged vacuum hose problem I had with my old F2. But it could just be bad gas... not sure.

it could be bad gas. when was your last fill up? it could also be fuel starvation like Archren said. Also, is the bike carbed? you might have a clogged float bowl or something. good luck

It was the gas. There was still a decent amount left, I guess it's just the bottom of the tank thing.

Be sure to run some seafoam thru it as well after its topped off with good gas.
Well techincally, best to put the seafoam in at the gas pump just before fill up.... |

You didn't say whether it was fuel injected or carbed. My GSXR did almost exactly the same thing a while back and it was the throttle position sensors that went bad...

My bad. I think it's carbed, but not 100% sure. Still new to all the tech shit.
