It was a nice day in the low to mid 80's so I decided to take the 78 F for a spin to the store. On my way home I decided I'd stretch my ride out and just past my house it started to surge. Went to give it gas to clear everything and it cut out. Pulled over and sat for a while and couldn't get her started again.
Pulled the choke and wacked the throttle while holding the starter. Stated up but died if RPMs dropped below 3k and response was jumpy and not right. Did it again and kept it high as I took off and turned into the next parking lot a few gears later. Next thing I know it seems to be running normal so I headed home.
Decided to go to the Wrap Shack for some grub. Starts up and goes. Get to a red light and it started all over again. Full choke and wacked it and it started and I ran 1/2 choke to the Wrap Shack and kept RPMs on the high side.
On my way home ... you guess it ... same stuff different mile. If I heard die I was able to downshift and jump it ... until I got to the mile long up hill stretch then it was back to the side of the road and wacking it with the choke out and a quick take off.
Bike is still on the new side to me and I am looking for any advice on where to start. Anything would be good. Thanks Guys.
brakes are like your pecker ... if you use it too much you'll screw youself
