When I kinda rush my 650 and then have to let off for any reason it wants to die. Is this just the nature of a Vtwin or do I need to adjust the Idle on it? I am not even going to talk to my dealer. So, I thought I'd ask someone who might know, thats why I'm asking ya'll! as always thanks for any info!

 

Mine did that for the first few rides, then I assume the engine broke in a bit and it seems fine now.

 

I had that problem and so did my boss,water in the carbs was the trouble.

Does it smell like its flooding?

 

Mine only does that if I work it really hard (say in mud), and they let off the gas (then it'll stall).

I had the same problem as you when it was first new. You might want to turn up the idle speed (there is a little **** on the right side of the engine).

Oh yeh, I had a ton of problems with it flooding when cold, and then would start. Turns out behind the tailight is a one way check valve that only lets air into the tank. Well, it's too restrictive, so if you don't have a full tank of fuel, heat and movement creates a bunch of pressure in the tank, and then it blows the fuel into the engine and floods it.

I "accidentlly" broke my check valve, now all is fine. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
