Cold engine stalls when going uphill
« on: October 11, 2021, 09:54:56 PM »
Hi everyone,

I have a GT 200i with 30k kms in it. I use it almost every day and recently has started stalling out as I go uphill on a ramp coming out of an underground garage. I cant even restart it while I'm on the slope. I have to roll back and it takes ~30 secs of cranking to get it going again. What could this be? How is it possible that a slope can even affect the engine? It has an injector. It's not like a carburetor engine where the level of the gas in the carb changes along with the level of the whole motorcycle...

Air filter, spark plug, oil and drive belt were recently replaced.

Any help is appreciated.

I would suspect your "roll switch" has come loose and is out of position. Instead of killing the engine at 60° of roll it kills it at 10° pitch up. It's under the front cover below the handle bar....I think.

Thanks for the advice. I'm assuming you are referring to the tilt switch. Will check it out...

Yep, the TILT switch! Had a mental block on that....

interesting...what determines whether a bike gets a tipover switch or not? Size? Fuel injection?...price?
