Hey guys, new to riding but am into cars. I have a 98 eclipse gsx. Wife and I just bought a ninja 250 but I plan to go bigger, maybe 650 when I get better.
I have a question, we parked the bike for like 2 weeks and I went to start it and it started fine. I let it run for like five minutes then it died and now I can't start it. I made sure choke was all the way up but still nothing. Can anyone help me?? Thanks in advance.

RE: Newbie
It started fine for about five minutes. Had the choke all the way up during that time because it would die if i lower the choke. I just let it run, didn't give it gas or anything so I don't think I flooded it.

RE: Newbie
Three words to remember: Air, Gas, Spark. If one of these is out of whack, you don't go.
Check your plugs (correct heat range, proper deposit/clean burn?),and/or change your gas. Make sure your fuel flow isn't restricted (dirty fuel line), kinked, or has a vacuum problem due to poor venting (like posters seem to be reporting with the increase inhot weather.) Ifthe problem persists, work backwards inthe chain of each of the 3 variables.
