General Discussion / 2014 Super 8 150 - engine dies, won't start
« on: July 10, 2014, 08:05:42 AM »
I don't crave speed or have the itch to weave in & out of traffic, nor do I believe I'm invincible. My primary reason for getting my bike was to enjoy our nice weather (summer vacation means I don't have to drop off or pick up the kids from school), and save gas at the same time.
I have less than 600 miles of riding experience (2-3 months) and I admit I didn't do my research when I bought my bike. My first time out and my bike stalled in an intersection. I was stopped at a light, and when it turned green I turned the throttle and it died. The owners from the shop fixed it right away. Since then i've also learned to never overfill the gas tank. I wish I could somehow mickey-mouse that sensor thing to keep it from getting wet. But yet, even after being very careful my bike sometimes will not start up right away. And other times it will just die as soon as I turn the throttle, or even as I'm riding.
Is my bike a piece of junk?
