Little trouble....

So I rode the bike to work yesterday. On the way there and on the way back it stalled and wouldn't restart until after a couple minutes. Then rode fine after wards. Both times were when coming to a stop and just stalled like I turned the fuel off. Any suggestions?

 

Did you recently clean your carbs or anything? If your float bowl levels are too high, it would cause the engine to flood and stall out as the excess fuel would slosh around at stops.

 

I did just clean them. How do I adjust the float bowls.

 

here is a pic you can use this to reference where they need to be set.

Using this method will get you close then you have to put the bowls on and check them with fuel in them. That can be done by putting a peice of clear plastic tubing on the drain hole on the bowl and opening the drain. Fuel will run in there and you just hold the tubing up and it will show you where your level is at.

 

If you go to my thread on the second page is another pic that shows how to check the fuel level with the plastic tubing.
