November 2, 200619 yr please help me discover wats up with my bike i road it last sat for a couple of hours practice and it was running fine, then sunday morn i start it to warm up for a trial and it dies after a minit or so, i start it again and the same thing, and again, i change the plug and it still dies.

November 3, 200619 yr my sherco used to do it all the time, after weeksof trying to sort it i found out it was the original kill button so changed it for a yam style one and has never missed a beat since
November 3, 200619 yr I`d suggest giving the carby a good overhaul could be a little bit of dirt in a jet, check all rubbers are in good condition not split and all are correctly fitted as someone else mentioned clean filter and air box, check spark, if all still fails try discontecting the kill switch? if all that fails do this
November 3, 200619 yr Author thank you so much for your suggestions, i will investigate the kill button as i have illiminated all water from every were and put a new air filter in, so it must be that.........please bike god let it be that.
November 3, 200619 yr Author sorted, it was the kill button after all, im am so happy thanks for taking the time to help me, if we ever meet ill by u all a drink, thanks again guys
