Question about kawasaki GPZ 500 S - GPX 500 R Motorcycles

1 Answer

Motorbike wont move

My bike wont move? it revs and idles fine but as soon as i click it into gear and start to release the clutch it cuts out, no matter how many revs i give it. ive cleaned the carb, both spark plugs have been changed along with the oil, both spark plugs are sparking well so now i dont know what else i can try. it has been running but the past week its just done this, it back fires more now but i think thats just because i may be flooding it when it cuts out all the time and i re start it up.

Sidestand lockout switch is sticking...bike thinks that you're trying to ride away with the stand down so it kills the sparks.

SOURCE: kawasaki 300 bayou won't rev up.

No guarantees but try this. Pull the slide from the throat of the carb. Now move the clip on the jet needle down one notch. This will richen the low end mix. Two notches may be needed but do one notch at the start.

Why wont my Flymo qs 46sd rev ?
does it have a throttle cable fitted?? you really dont need an idle as as soon as you release the opc or dead mans handle it will cut out anyway. engine should be reving at 3000-3100 rpm. if this mower has a briggs and stratton engine fitted, remove the air filter and check the spring and linkege is still attached to the air vane govenor

2002 Kawasaki ZX-6R is stalling when the clutch is disengaged
Hi, Jesse the ignition circuit cut-off system comprising of the side stand switch, clutch switch and neutral switch has the following functions:
a. It prevents starting when the transmission is in gear and the side stand is up, but the clutch lever is not pulled.
b. It prevents starting when the transmission is in gear and the clutch lever is pulled, but the side stand is still down.
c. It cuts the running engine when the transmission is in gear and the side stand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of the ignition circuit cut-off system according to the following tests.
With the engine turned off:
1. Move the side stand down.
2. Make sure that the engine stop switch is set to "RUN"
3. Turn the key to "ON".
4. Shift the transmission into the neutral position.
5. Push the start switch if the engine does not start the neutral switch may be faulty.
With the engine still running:
6. Move the side stand up.
7. Keep the clutch lever pulled.
8. Shift the transmission into gear.
9. Move the side stand down if the engine does not stall you may have a faulty side stand switch.
After the engine has stalled:
10. Move the side stand up.
11. Keep the clutch lever pulled.
12. Push the start switch if the engine does not start you may have a faulty clutch switch.
This check is most reliable if performed with a warmed-up engine.

The bike will crank up and idle and I can thottle it up fine but as soon as i put it in gear and release the clutch it dies.
is the kickstand still down when you are doing this. Some bikes have a kickstand sensor and wont let it run when down.

Kdx 200 clutch not engaging properly
The clutch in your bike is a wet clutch. There is a lot of hyrdostatic friction even when the clutch is released completely. I think a large factor is the type, age and condition of oil. Perhaps something as simple as an oil change would help.
