jimbamjtx

Hi, recently my Jtx was running fine, but its now decided that it wants to be a pain, it keeps spluttering and dying and will only start on the choke, and it still dies if i leave it on tick over, i warm it through by keeping revs on.. like the tinyest amount so it doesnt die and put the choke off again and itl rev for a bit, like before, a tiny amount then it dies again, i cleaned the airfilter, carb and spark plug but it still decides to be a pain, i heard perhaps i should start my bike without my airbox on and see if its getting enough air, if not i got told again i should re-empty my tank and re-clean my carb and see what happens, but if theres anyway of saving me time then id like to know as it'd be a great help, if anyone can shed some light on this situation itd be muchly appreciated

Again i commented on your other post about your jtx being loud, looks like me and you are on the same boat buddy! i cant find hardly anything for my jtx, its exactly the same year and model as yours, its a nightmare! mines having trouble starting and things tho at the minute, hopefully i can sort it out again soon tho, if you come across a manual, could you perhaps give me the site so i could get one? and possibly let me know why yours is so loud if you figure it out because im stumped!! thanks

My JTX is exactly the same!! its like popopopopop and i cant source the problem either, id love for it to just be a normal sounding bike haha, altho its quite nice when its warmed through when its loud

Hi, just thought id take the time out to say hello to everyone and that im new to this, im Jamie im 18 and my bikes a Gas Gas JTX 270, the 250cc 1997 bike, it needs a little tinkering but itl be perfect for riding soon enough, am going to get myself into our local club at some point and get my acu liscence all done so i can ride at our most local track, being wattisfield, any help with things would be greatly appreciated, as im having a little trouble starting my bike without the choke on, it seems to run for a while on tick over and then dies, anyone have any ideas as ive cleaned the carb air filter and plug, plus does anyone know where i can get a front tyre, helmet and boots for cheap?, again would be greatly appreciated, well i hope to find out more about my bike and hear from people so hopefully i can ride asap
