Also I washed off bike today to get ready to start stripping fuel tank and carb and as I finished it started first kick. Rode around patio for a bit until fan kicked in and bike is fine. It’s just when I’m out and been riding for an hour say it starts to sound funny and I’m fighting with the throttle to keep it running then it just shuts off ! It’s so strange ??

Just been looking back at pics and realised that there’s no one way fuel valve. Previous owner has taken off original breather pipe and replaced with a short breather pipe. Do I need this valve, could this be part of my problem? I would up load a pic but don’t know how too ? Thanks

Very true. I still haven’t had chance to strip but once I have I’ll post an add. I just want to enjoy riding lol. But this is all part of it I suppose unless I get a brand new bike ! ( dream world )

Thanks for your help and advice, I will strip the bike down and investigate. Cheers

Sounds like you’ve had a nightmare to then ! It is the rear petrol tank model,that’s something I haven’t checked ( the fuel lines ) but could this be the problem for why it’s cutting out or would the bike still run ? Thanks

Year I’ve had the carb off a couple of times and cleaned it with carb cleaner. I haven’t really looked at the fuel valve though to be fair. I’ll strip it all down again and have another look. Do you think it’s the carb that’s causing my problem ?

I have a problem with my bike and wondered if any one might know what it could be. Basically from cold it will always start but once you ride it for a while it starts to run strange and then cuts out. and then you got no chance in getting it started again. It needs to be left for ages and then it will start again. Some times it chucks quite a bit of fuel out of the overflow pipes and I do notice fuel on the trailer too & from the woods. Could it be something to do with the carb or could it be something completely different ??? My dad thinks it’s because the exhaust is clogged up which it could be but I’m not sure if it should be throwing fuel out ? Has anyone had anything like this before?

Hi scotty810, did you fix your issue?? I have a sherco st290 2012 will a similar problem
