Intermittent LS650 stall-out

Intermittent LS650 stall-out

by Jeff
(Westminster MD)

The dealer thinks I'm crazy and that nothing is wrong with the Suzuki 650 but here is my problem: The bike will start fine even when it is 30-40 degrees. As long as it is running in gear it will not stall out but as soon as I release the throttle to shift into neutral or sometime even to down ship the engine will immediately die out and it will be hard to restart. The choke is in (not used) and the engine has been thoroughly warmed up. The idle had been set up to specs, so what could be going on? The problem is intermittent and feels like gas is not flowing freely into carb, but I'm no mechanic. Can any one suggest a solution? Thanks. Jeff

Fuel is new, carb has been cleaned, bike has not been sitting and received an ok by dealer so they aren't just dismissive of gals only cause I'm a guy and they still didn't give the complaint much credence.

hmmm, fuel issue?

Has this just begun or always done this? Could it be bad fuel? Dirty carb or injector? Sounds strange, but I will bet if you let a guy take it to the shop for you, then the mechanic would take it more seriously. ( Does that make me sound like a radical feminist?..oh yeah, I am....)
Hope you get this worked out soon as it could prove to be dangerous for you to ride.
Let us know when you discover the issue, I am curious as to the culprit.
