As the title says my bike decided to stall when descending a slope. Clutch was out, in 1st gear and the bike seemed to be engine braking nicely, then it died. Started again fine.

Any ideas what the typical cause of this is? My initial thought it the tick over may be too low?

What year is your bike?

2006 sherco 290

What carb?

Fuel starvation in the carb I expect, I remember my Rev 3's well.

oni nou thanks for the info. I'll have a go at setting the tick over next time I'm out and see if it helps.
