Downtown 300 / Re: Sold my bike :( :)

Leaving in the early morning here.  Thank YOU Neil! :)

Yup, being left stranded by a failed part can colour your view of a scoot! Sounds like the back up locally for the marque now being gone left you in a position where the time was right to make the move. Honda are pretty much ubiquitous so there should be no such problem. Sound move.

Enjoy your upcoming ride to Plaster Rock!

Yeah my last trip to Plaster Rock  with my Downtown left me stranded on the highway for 5 hours (coil went on it)  This kind of took my confidence away with the bike.  Thing is I maybe was a bit hard on the bike with all the trips in the last few years.  Much of the time I had it running full throttle. I don't think that would be good on it as much as I did this.  Still the bike was in great shape and running well but I did notice the RPM's went back up fairly quickly after the garage changed my rollers etc.  Remember I had some issue with this.  I was driving at 100 km's and it would be up to the 7000 this was to much and felt like a stress on the bike to me.  Another main reason to let it go was the fact there is no more dealers in Canada and was very hard to get any parts!!  It felt like time to let it go and so I sold it for 2700 and got this other one for 3400.  I feel I made a good move.  I am happy so far.  I am soon to head back to Plaster Rock to help my Mom and Dad.  This time with my new ride!

See, you can still hang around here! Just because your new ride is not a Kymco is no reason to stay away!

So, hot no spark
Cool engine starts right up.

Might suggest a coil which is failing?
We had a LIKE doing the same thing.

Stig

Yeah when I dropped the bike off today it started and my guy said it could be the coil and when it is hot it won't run but that it cooled off it works.  Will see.

Failed coil or spark plug cap - or the coil-to-plug wire itself?
You're certain that you are using the correct spark plug?
No spark when grounding plug to engine block?

Good luck - let's hope it is something simple...and inexpensive!
Stig

No spark nope.  Well I think I was certain but now I am questioning that.  I just dropped the bike to the boys and he turned the key and it started!! but something is very wrong still.

When you put a full throttle what yours rpm? Mine is about 7300 rpms its not too much? And its runs immediately to 7300 like really fast

For me at full throttle it will go to 8000

Bike stalled and so I thought maybe to check the spark plug cap and so I pushed it onto the plug and this worked!! so off I went for about 150km down the road and it stalled again and so I went and took the plug right out and the tip of the plug was burnt right off!  so I changed it but this did not solve the issue.  A guy stopped and checked to see if I had fire and it failed the test.  What do you suppose happened.  My God what a nightmare I had for 24 hours and now my bike is outside here inside a U-haul and will take it to my boys this morning. Sigh :)

Enrichment circuit in EFI (choke) slow to let go when cold starting? would be my guess.
 With warm starts, ECU says no enriching needed.
Has bike been sitting alot this winter? See if it starts acting normal after several rides.
Stig

Yes it has been sitting for a few months.  OK will watch how it gets along.  How do I fix it if it is what you said?

It had done this twice in the last two days.  I start up the bike it was fine as it warmed up and as soon as I slightly touched the gas it would change and idle fast and move forward on it's own.  I would go someplace stop and start up again and it would be fine.  What is happening?
